Egypt threatened to abrogate 'peace treaty' if there was a Gaza ground op

Here's another reason that probably made the government of Israel think twice about invading Gaza on the ground: Egypt threatened to abrogate the 'peace treaty' if Israel invaded Gaza.

Prior to Wednesday's cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, Egypt threatened that an IDF ground operation into the Gaza Strip would endanger the peace treaty between Jerusalem and Cairo, Channel 2 reported on Thursday.

According to the report, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi refused to speak directly with Israeli representatives during the cease-fire negotiations, despite the US urging him to do so.

This ought to make Israel think again about the value of pieces of paper that claim to bring 'peace.'

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
