Why would the Pali ‘authority’ have any insight on this. All they know is everybody else is getting on board the train and they’re still in the station. Haven’t heard anything about Egypt. That would be ‘uge.

EGYPT-background:

The peace treaty between Egypt and Israel was signed 16 months after Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s visit to Israel in 1977 after intense negotiation. The main features of the treaty were mutual recognition, cessation of the state of war that had existed since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, normalization of relations and the complete withdrawal by Israel of its armed forces and civilians from the Sinai Peninsula which Israel had captured during the Six-Day War in 1967.

Egypt agreed to leave the area demilitarized. The agreement also provided for the free passage of Israeli ships through the Suez Canal, and recognition of the Strait of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba as international waterways.

The agreement notably made Egypt the first Arab state to officially recognize Israel.[1]
Compliance

Normalization

The normalization of relations between Israel and Egypt went into effect in January 1980. Ambassadors were exchanged in February. The boycott laws were repealed by Egypt’s parliament the same month, and some trade began to develop, albeit less than Israel had hoped for.

In March 1980 regular airline flights were inaugurated. Egypt also began supplying Israel with crude oil.[2]
