Egyptian Public Concerned about Internal Problems, Not Israel
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) David Pollock - New data from an independent opinion poll show that 85% of the Egyptian public is more concerned about domestic problems than any foreign policy issue. And on foreign affairs, only a third put the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the top of their priority list. At the same time, only 6% support further "normalization" with Israel, while 90% oppose any such moves. 49% continue to say that good relations with the U.S. are important for their country, while only 39% say the same about Russia, despite recent arms and business deals.
