ElBaradei: U.S., Egypt In Secret Talks On Fate Of Israel Peace Treaty
Haaretz ^ | 27 Dec 2011 | Haaretz

Posted on 12/27/2011 7:59:58 AM PST by edpc

The United States is engaged in secret talks with Egypt's ruling military council geared at ensuring that the country's democratically elected regime will maintain its peace treaty with Israel, top Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei said on Tuesday.

Results from Egypt's recent parliamentary vote, which saw considerable gains for Islamist factions such as the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party and the radical Salafi movement's Al-Nour Party, have caused some to question the future of Israel's 1979 peace treaty with its neighbor to the north.

Well, they're not so secret anymore. Nevertheless, they wouldn't need to be unless there were some legitimate concerns about the recent election outcomes.

Nobody here is, or should be, particularly surprised.

Obama’s just trying to bribe them to hold off on the anti-Israel behavior until after the election.

The stupid voters that put Obama in our Oval Office really set us up. And our allies recognize that. All of them.

This is insane.

Certainly Allah will smile upon a large annual secret American payment (cash please) that the Egyptians can use to fund a low-level proxy war. As well as to fund the life-style the Islamist ruling class expects to become accustomed to.

It’s too late for talk. The islamists have taken over Egypt and “leading from behind” won’t work.

Pray for Israel.

Israel's 1979 peace treaty with its neighbor to the north.

This has to be be a lousy translation.

Israel's "neighbor to the north" is Syria.

Israel has always been by themselves.

Next war, they are not going to give the land they win back.

Treaty or no treaty, if Egypt tries to create “mischief” against Israel, Israel once again can hand to Egypt its rear-end. Its that simple.

There are 2 chances that the Treaty with Israel will hold:

Fat, and Slim, and Slim just left Dodge.

Not true.
Israel would not exist were it not for American arms and funding both private and public

U.S. aid to Egypt is predicated on the peace treaty and reasonably good behavior by the Egyptians vis-a-vis Israel. Egypt would pay a tangible price for walking away from the treaty, and the Egyptian military knows it, even if the islamists don’t know/don’t care. While I put no stock in Obama’s resolve, I am reasonably confident that Congress will not approve a penny of aid for Egypt if it goes off the reservation. Interesting situation.

Egypt is in a world of hurt right now and is not in a position to easily or painlessly cut the cord.

You need to read some history. With the current Admin, Israel won’t receive the vital supplies it needs this go around to sustain a lengthy engagement. We could very well see Israel going out with a bang as she nukes the middle east (and maybe us for all we know).

“Israel will be on their own./”

The 0 has already signaled he will throw the Israelis under the bus. In fact he will drive the BUs back and forth to insure killing all of them. After all, he is a Muzzie!
