Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: No Talks with Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Oren Kessler - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood categorically rejects dialogue with Israel, the group's spokesman, Mahmoud Ghazlan, told Asharq Alawsat in an interview published Wednesday. Ghazlan said, "Our group is not prepared to conduct dialogue with Israel." Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told Army Radio on Tuesday that Israel "has not closed the door" to the new government in Cairo and "would be happy to conduct dialogue with anyone prepared to talk with us." Palmor said he believes Egypt would continue to honor the 1979 peace treaty with Israel, which he said serves the interests of both countries.
