began his career in 1949 when he entered the Egyptian diplomatic service as a

member of its delegation to the United Nations. In January 1968, following the

severance of diplomatic relations between the US and the Egyptian government,

Ghorbal was appointed head of the Egyptian interests section that operated

within the Indian Embassy. Ghorbal held that position until February 1973, when

he was appointed as media adviser to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. In November 1973 the Egyptian and the US

governments decided to reestablish diplomatic relations, and Ghorbal was

Egypt's ambassador to Washington during the signing of the Camp David Accords

between Sadat and U.S. President Jimmy Carter. He played a significant role in the diffusion of

the hostage situation during the 1977 Washington, D.C. attack and hostage taking. Ghorbal

children.
