Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Seeking to Amend Peace Treaty with Israel
(Al-Masry Al-Youm-Egypt) A figure in Egypt's Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, said Tuesday that the party's legal committee is working on a new draft law to amend the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. Osama Suleiman, the party's secretary general in Beheira governorate, said the draft law will amend the treaty so the armed forces can gain full control over the Sinai Peninsula. The 1979 peace treaty allows only Egyptian police with light weapons to guard borders with Israel, except in special cases.
