“We will not recognize Israel under any circumstances; we are talking about an occupation entity and a criminal enemy.”
Dr. Rashad Bayoumi, the deputy head of the Brotherhood, the overwhelming victor in the first round of elections for the Egyptian Parliament, has announced it will not recognize Israel and intends to bring the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty to a referendum. He added;
“This is an agreement that was formulated and signed far from the eyes of the people and the Parliament, so we must return this agreement to the people and let them have their say about whether this agreement hurts Egyptian interests and sovereignty.” (source)
