"Egyptian PM: Peace deal with Israel not sacred." Uh Oh!


Looks like the first fruits from The Arab Spring are not good news for our friends in Israel. Robert Spencer posted this piece at Jihad Watch today. Here's part of it:

CAIRO - Egypt's Prime Minister Essam Sharaf said a peace deal with Israel was not "sacred" and could be changed for the benefit of peace or the region.

"The Camp David agreement is not a sacred thing and is always open to discussion with what would benefit the region and the case of fair peace ... and we could make a change if needed," he said in the interview.

Mustapha al-Sayyid, a professor of politics, said Sharaf's comments appeared to be aimed more at boosting Egyptian security on the border with Israel, rather than abrogating it altogether, but Spencer calls that "wishful thinking."
