Gibbs: New Egyptian govt must honor Israeli treaty

[uncletonoose]

I think Izzy is getting very restless.


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says it's important that the next government of Egypt recognize existing accords with Israel.

Spokesman Robert Gibbs says America's partnership with Egypt has brought stability to the Middle East and, in particular, peace between Egypt and Israel. The two countries signed a peace treaty in 1979.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned from office on Friday, turning control of the country over to the military.

Some in Israel fear the change in leadership in Egypt means the peace treaty might not survive under a new government.

God forbid the Egyptians actually notice their Arab neighbors in Palestine being exterminating by the jews and turn off their natural gas pipeline to "Israel".

At least those in Gaza will be able to get food........also most of the Egyptians are against the Zionist.

Do I care? No.

:o

I'm sure AIPAC is preparing their lobbying blitz on Congress.

People are getting tired of Afghanistan and Iraq so it is time for Israel to start our North African campaign.

i hope so, but i'm not sure. Israeli Jews have a way of infiltrating & twisting.

i would say, "i'd like to see Egypt renounce the treaty" - ( was it the will of the Eqyptian people or of Anwar Sadat ? ) - but too many innocent civilians would get caught in the crossfire.

Are treaties therefore always and in all times permanent, even when made and enforced under a despotic or tyrannical government, which on the face of it is illegitimate (due to lacking consent of the governed)?

Even some 30-40 years later, when circumstances may have changed?

Does anyone doubt that Israel would end the treaty were it to Israel's benefit?

[Ponce]

If the people wanted to change the governmnet (as we do) it was because they didn't like what the governmnet were doing and if the state of Israel treaty was one of the reasons then let it be so.......now because you have a wife does not mean that she will be your wife for ever, that's why they have divorce laws.

First post of the day..............good morning to one and all.
