'If Egypt changes the treaty, there may not be any more'


'If Egypt changes the treaty, there may not be any more'

Dan Meridor, the most left-leaning member of Prime Minister Netanyahu's inner circle, told a press conference sponsored by The Israel Project on Monday night that if Egypt unilaterally changes the Camp David Treaty, Israel will question whether other treaties should be signed in the futurewith Arab countries.
While it's not clear from the article whether Meridor was stating fact or advocating such a position, my sense is that he was stating fact. If Cairo unilaterally decides to alter the peace treaty with Jerusalem, Israel will ask why sign agreements with other neighbors if these accords are not kept, Intelligence Agencies Minister Dan Meridor said Monday.

Meridor, speaking at a press conference organized by The Israel Project, said that "objectively" there is no reason for either Israel or Egypt to change the peace agreement that has served both sides for more than 30 years.

"If people are rational and act for the good of their country, both Israel and Egypt should keep the agreement," Meridor said. Meridor added that Israel has had no contact with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the party that won the recent parliamentary elections there.
Well, no kidding. But the problem is that if that happens, Israel has already given back all the land it had liberated from Egypt in 1967 and 1973. The Egyptians may not even care.
