Några exempel som visar varför Israel oroligt följer med händelserna i Egypten.
‘We know that Netanyahu cannot sleep now’
-Ahmed said he didn’t want Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel completely demolished, but for it to undergo a serious change.“It should be remodeled. With Mubarak leaving, we know that whoever comes next will remodel the agreement.”
- Ahmad Ragab, 42, spoke more vehemently towards Israel saying “look, all Egyptian people hate Israel, only Sadat wanted Camp David. We know that Israel will be mad about what is happening here, and we know that Netanyahu can’t sleep now. We know that with the change here, there won’t be peace with Israel. There won’t be a war, but I don’t think there will be an Israeli embassy in Egypt any more, we will have only the most minimal relations.”
