Regimes come and go throughout human history, and when a new regime replaces a particularly brutal old one, one of the first things that gets changed is foreign policy. In Egypt, this means that everything, including the 1979 Camp David Accords, is subject to revision.
The 1979 deal has been controversial for years in Egypt, particularly as it relates to restrictions on trade with and humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. US threats to revoke the massive aid dollars that were part of this treaty have given greater impetus to revising the treaty, though everyone claims to hope to remain at peace with Israel.
Still and all, the prospect of changing a treaty just 33 years later is outraging the Israeli government today, with Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor insisting that there is “objectively” no reason to revise the deal and that if Egypt does change it, it would prove Israel shouldn’t negotiate with Arab nations, ever.
“If people are rational and act for the good of their country, both Israel and Egypt should keep the agreement,” Meridor insisted. If the deal is changed, he added, it would leave Israel doubting whether there is any point to signing deals “if these accords are not kept.” Apparently just 33 years or until the dictator gets chased out of office isn’t good enough.
Perhaps Israel should consider that it did not adhere to the Oslo Accords — nor the Accords for peace offered by the European Union, the U.S. and the Arab nations. Egypt need not adhere to the restrictions which Israel demanded at the Camp David agreements, as Israel ignored all agreements signed at Camp David. Moreover, if the U.S. can threaten to withhold money to Egypt, it is hypocritical to not withhold all aid to Israel for ignoring the terms of its agreements.
What did Israel get from Oslo? The second intifada.
"In Egypt, this means that everything, including the 1979 Camp David Accords, is subject to revision." Wouldn't Israel also have a say since they are also a party to the treaty? In which case Israel could possibly get the Sinai back but obviously Egypt and the other anti-Israel folks will ensure the arabs get to have their cake and eat too.

When was the last time that Israel ever said OK lets negotiate truly and productively which would bring us to a long lasting peace? Thats not happening and as this man have said is not going to happen, this man even goes further and don't want to negotiate with no Arab Nation. “objectively” no reason to revise the deal and that if Egypt does change it, it would prove Israel shouldn’t negotiate with Arab nations, ever”. It is time for all nations around the world to do the same with Israel, leave Israel alone, I mean totally alone, boycott Israel totally, then and only then Israel will understand that there are other nations in this world that needs to be respected, to start with Palestinian are one and their stolen land needs to be given back to them, Israel needs to stop yawning about god given land, it was the British at the UN and there is no god in UN anymore.
