Arab League chief: Egypt-Israel peace treaty not as sacred as the Koran
Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby, says the 1979 peace treaty is ‘not sacred,’ and is subject to annulment or amendment if breached by either side.
(Haaretz headline 26/8/2011)
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that Israel will soon allow Egypt to deploy thousands of troops in the Sinai Peninsula.
(Haaretz article 26/8/2011)
Read these 2 news items together and try to understand if Ehud Barak has finally lost all his marbles!
As if Egypt has made any attempt to stop the smuggling of arms into Gaza since the overthrow of Mubarak!
It is obvious that the Egyptian leadership – and the army – do not have much interest in doing anything that might help Israel. What they might do for their own self interest – for example providing more protection to the gas pipelines – is another matter.
It is so self evidently dangerous to rely on the Egyptians to care about OUR interests – especially in the light of the most recent comments from their leadership – that it boggles the mind to think that the Israeli Minister of Defence – I repeat : MINISTER OF DEFENCE – could believe it!
Barak must have some other agenda – I only hope, for all our sakes, that Netanyahu knows what it is.
After all, we are only talking about the small matter of the future of the Jewish People!
