Over Half Of Egyptians Want To End Peace Treaty With Israel -- The Telegraph

More than half of Egyptians want to end the peace treaty with Israel, according to an opinion poll, which will worsen the West's fears about a shift towards conservative Islamic politics in the country.

The survey, the fullest to be conducted on any of the Middle East countries that have undergone uprisings in the "Arab Spring", found 54 per cent of Egyptians wanted to end the treaty, signed in 1979, compared to 36 per cent who wanted to keep it.

My Comment: If they want to end the peace treaty .... what is the alternative .... is it war? There are many contradictions in this poll .... but should we be surprised .... I think the answer is no After being riled by a dictator for almost 30 years, opinions are now all over the place .... with time all of this should become stabilized.
