"For Israel, then, peace with Egypt has been not only strategically but also psychologically essential. Israelis understand that the end of their conflict with the Arab world depends in large part on the durability of the peace with Egypt — for all its limitations, it is the only successful model of a land-for-peace agreement...Israelis now worry that this fragile opening to the Arab world is about to close."
Oh, yeah. It was a great opening.
The Egyptian people never accepted peace with Israel and it required the preservation of a bloody dictatorship to maintain it. Opening?
Did you see the Arab people "opening up" to Israel? And notice how this writer basically flippantly justified all of Israeli wars, massacres, and murders from 1982 to now: "Since then all of Israel’s military conflicts — from the first Lebanon war in 1982 to the Gaza war of 2009 — have been asymmetrical confrontations against terrorists."
