Egyptian Foreign Minister Links Peace Treaty to Israel's Retreat to '67 Borders
(State Department) Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr said Saturday at a meeting in Cairo with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "Egypt continues to respect all treaties signed as long as the other party to the treaty respects the treaty itself. And today, [the President of Egypt] once again reiterated this issue and also reiterated that Egypt's understanding of peace is that it should be comprehensive, exactly as stipulated in the treaty itself. And this also includes the Palestinians, of course, and their right to have their own state on the land that was the pre-June 4, 1967, borders, with Jerusalem as its capital."
