Israel-Egypt peace treaty ‘anchor of stability’ – Netanyahu

The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty represents an “anchor of stability for the Middle East”, Israeli Premier Benyamin Netanyahu said at a reception at the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv Thursday.

“We welcome the efforts by Sisi to advance peace and we welcome efforts to incorporate other Arab states in this effort, as part of a broader peace between all peoples of the Middle East,” Netanyahu said at the event to mark Egypt’s National Day on July 23.

He added that the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew civilisations both made an important contribution to the global culture that terrorist groups are now trying to destroy.

“We must work together against terrorism and work together for peace,” Netanyahu concluded.
