In a sign of the level of alertness within the Zionist entity following the collapse of the Egyptian regime, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday welcomed assurances from Egypt's military that Cairo would respect its international and regional treaties.
A statement from Netanyahu’s office said Netanyahu welcomes the statement of the Egyptian military that Egypt will continue to honor the so-called peace treaty with Israel.
"The longstanding peace treaty between Israel and Egypt has greatly contributed to both countries and is the cornerstone for peace and stability in the entire Middle East."
In a televised statement earlier on Saturday, Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said Cairo would "remain committed to all its regional and international treaties," implicitly confirming that the landmark peace treaty with Israel would remain intact.
In another reaction to Saturday's statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that Israel was not interested "in Egypt's internal affairs," adding that the only thing Israel wanted was that "regional stability be preserved and the peace treaty respected."
The FM's comment came after earlier Saturday Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz also voiced his support of the Egyptian statement, saying in an interview to Channel 2 that it was a good announcement. "Peace is not only in the interest of Israel but also of Egypt. I am very happy with this announcement," Steinitz said.
