Egypt and Isreal’s Camp David Agreement Can Be Altered.

Egypt’s Prime Minister, Essam Sharaf, says the Camp David agreement can be altered since it wasn’t “sacred”. Sharaf wants to increase the number of troops in the Egyptian territory to insure greater security, along with improved equipment.

Tensions between Egypt and Israel amplified after a cross-border attack last month. Egypt has received aid from the United States since 1979 and has to balance public calls for a tougher line against Israel with a need to keep on good terms with the United States. Both Egypt and Israel have said they want to return to common diplomatic behavior. Egypt has promised to guard the embassy as demanded by Israel and the United States.
