Muslim Brotherhood offered assurances on treaty, State Dept. says

The Muslim Brotherhood assured the United States it would not break Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel, according to the U.S. State Department.
A State Department spokesperson said Thursday that the Islamist political party had offered assurances it would not break Egypt’s 1979 accord with Israel, despite statements to the contrary by a party leader.
“We have had other assurances from the party with regard to their commitment not only to universal human rights, but to the international obligations that the government of Egypt has understaken,” Victoria Nuland told reporters in Washington.
The rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the wake of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s departure from power has raised concerns that political reform in the Arab world’s most populous country could lead to the emergence of a hostile regime that would depart from its historic peace accord with the Jewish state.
In an interview published Sunday, Rashad Bayoumi, the party’s deputy leader, said the group will not recognize Israel “under any circumstance.”
Asked about Bayoumi’s comment, Nuland said he was but one member of the Muslim Brotherhood and that the party would be judged by what it does.

The Moslem brotherhood has denied that they have offered the state department any assurances . They also reserve the step of submitting the treaty (which is highly unpopular) to public referendum
I sent David Suissa and the rest of the top Jewish Journal staff a full copy of the news article and the quotations documenting the Muslim brotherhood position
Here is another example where the Jewish Journal , by implementing the 700 character limitation on response and using “moderation” to delay the feedback of responses stifles full discussion and allows the JJ to impose their selective (and often erroneous) reporting and editorials on the LA Jewish community
We deserve much better!

When was the last time that Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim brotherhood kept their word”? The only time they tell the truth is when they want Palestinian land (from the river to the sea) to be Jew free.
They pledged not to run in Egyptian elections. Then they said they would only compete for a small % of the seats. Then they substantially raised the % they competed for. Hezbollah pledged not to rearm. The PA pledged not to take unilateral action toward statehood. Syria agreed to stop slaughtering the protesters. Iraq Shias pledged to cease ethnic cleansing. Etc. etc. etc.
