Israel may rule out future accords if Egypt changes treaty

If Cairo unilaterally decides to alter the peace treaty with Jerusalem, Israel will ask why it should sign agreements if these accords are not kept, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor said Monday.

Objectively, there is no reason for either Israel or Egypt to change the peace agreement that has served both sides for more than 30 years, he said.

Meridor also bemoaned the Palestinian Authority's decision to sign a unity agreement with Hamas. He called on PA President Abbas to demonstrate the "courage" to accept a demilitarized Palestinian state.
