Cairo - Egypt's foreign minister told an Israeli official on Thursday that Cairo was committed to its international treaties, Egypt's foreign ministry said, reiterating that the countries' peace accord is secure. It was the first publicly announced meeting between an Egyptian and an Israeli official since Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was toppled from power on Feb. 11 and handed power to the military. A day after it took power, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said it was committed to Egypt's international treaties in an early message to reassure Jerusalem and the United States.

Of course, the Islamic definition of “peace” is a little violent....

On Gaza, Elaraby confirmed Egypt's "firm position on the need to take into consideration the humanitarian issues and holds Israel responsible for them as an occupying force."

But, of course, Egypt is committed to peace with this "occupying force". To say otherwise, would tip their hand.

Taqiyya.

Sure they want Peace!
From various sources:

Peace comes through submission to Islam.

Muslim have to fight on until there is "no more tumult or oppression" Quran 2:190-193, Q. 9:5 (Yousuf Ali).

When there is nore tumult or oppression, when there is submission, then there will be peace.

The word Islam is derived from the triliteral root SLM, which means "submission" or "peace".
