For a long-term peace treaty will Israel, Anwar Sadat paid with his life.
After his assassination, Honsi Mubarak came to power. Now his life may also be on the line, in part for his commitment to a peaceful border with the Jewish State.
The Egyptian government has twice failed to police its borders and its peaceful. Once, when "refugees" poured in from Gaza, and now with the attack on the Israeli embassy.
As part if its move to consolidate power, the Muslim Brotherhood and their followers will throw up the Israeli bogeyman, conveniently distracting the mass of Egyptian youth fed up with endemic corruption, political oppression, and unremitting unemployment.
Netanyahu's weak optimism, with a security fence for the Southern Border, may not be enough to maintain the delicate balance of power and peace in the region. Let us hope that the Arabs will not have to suffer another "Great Setback" like in 1973.
