Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Chief: We Don't Recognize Israel, But Won't Fight It
(AP/ABC News)In an interview, Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Mehdi Akef sought to allay Western concerns about the group's newfound strength, saying it would not try to change Egypt's foreign policy, including its peace treaty with Israel. "We do not recognize Israel, but we will not fight it. We will respect all the treaties," said Akef, whose organization is considered the mother group for many Islamic fundamentalist movements, including the militant Hamas in the Palestinian territories.
