| Egyptian presidential candidate: Camp David Accords are 'dead' |
| 2012-05-01 |
| Amr Moussa, the leading Moussa said Sunday during a rally in southern Egypt that the document belongs "on the shelves of history," Haaretz reported. He differentiated, however, between the accords and the peace treaty that was signed in 1979, a year after Camp David. The Camp David Accords called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as a goal. "This agreement is dead and buried. There is an agreement between Israel and Egypt that we will honor as long as Israel honors it," Moussa reportedly said. Moussa served as foreign minister under ousted President Hosni Mubarak for a decade. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak called on Egypt to control the instability in the Sinai Peninsula in order to keep the peace between the two countries. "We urge Egypt to contain the lawlessness in the Sinai Peninsula -- this is imperative in order to keep our two nations firmly on the path of peace," he said Monday during an address to the Foreign Press Association in Jerusalem. |

| #4 You heard da man - he sezzes the Begin-Sadat Accords is "dead + buried". Iff "dead + buried" is dead + buried as far as Egypt is concerned, it means that iff Israel wins the next major Arab-Israeli War where Egypt is an enemy, Israel is NOT obligated to return Any or 1/2 or all of the Sinai Peninsula iff it is conquered again by the IDF. |
