Egypt Designates Israel Its Top Enemy

Egypt’s parliament, which is dominated by two pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists, voted unanimously last Monday to expel Israel’s ambassador to Egypt, and signaled that the Camp David Accords would soon be a thing of the past: Egypt, the parliamentarians declared, would “never” be Israel’s ally. In fact, Israel was Egypt’s “number one enemy.” And how did Barack Obama respond to this egregious trampling upon the agreement that has kept an uneasy peace between Israel and Egypt for thirty years? By announcing a resumption of military aid to Egypt.

1979 peace accords

1979 peace accords

Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist, so any talk about the Camp David Accords is hot air, anyway.

From the Jerusalem Post
Former US President Jimmy Carter said Thursday, after meeting Egypt's military rulers and political parties, that he expected Egypt's new government to focus more than the previous leadership on Palestinian rights as highlighted under the 1979 peace accords.

Haarets:
Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns met Mohamed Morsi, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), in Washington's highest level outreach to the Islamist group as part of a series of meetings with Egyptian political figures in Cairo, the State Department said. "From our perspective it was an opportunity to hear from them and to reinforce our expectation that all the major parties will support human rights, tolerance, rights of women and will also uphold Egypt's existing international obligations," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.  
From the WIKi on the peace accord:
Following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, and the subsequent strong showing of Islamist parties in Egypt's parliamentary elections, the Deputy chief of Egypt's largest party, the Muslim brotherhood, has said that they will not recognize Israel's right to exist, the treaty is non-binding, and will be put to a referendum.
