Carter: ’’Israel’’ Isolated, Cairo Protests Threaten ’’Israel’’-Egypt Treaty
Former US President Jimmy Carter viewed that recent Cairo protests threaten "Israel"-Egypt peace treaty.
In an interview with "Haaretz" "Israeli" daily, Carter expressed his "great concern at the demonstration of violence and the breakdown in the peace agreement with Egypt that has been threatened in last days, but I believe that leaderships in both "Israel" and in Egypt want to see the peace treaty preserved."
Clarifying that "he thinks that demonstrations form an indication of a change of attitude among the leadership in Egypt," the former US President stressed that "the people of Egypt have always believed that the treatment of Palestinians was more important than Mubarak did, and now they are putting pressure on the new government to demand that "Israel" accept its responsibilities under the Camp David Accords."
On the Palestinian UN move Carter told "Haaretz" that "I assume that the United States will cast a veto in the Security Council, but that will not prevent a vote in the General Assembly... I would prefer it if the United States were to vote in favor of recognizing the Palestinian state; but I don't think that will happen. It appears that at least 130 states will vote in the General Assembly in favor of the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state."
"I have no doubt that "Israel" has become increasingly isolated. I see a growing number of governments from South America that support the Palestinians' position, and I see similar feelings in Europe and I hear about this from colleagues in the Elders organization (a group of former world leaders which works to promote peace around the world)," Carter concluded.
