Muslim Brotherhood to Renounce Peace Pact With Israel . . . By Referendum

Mindful of its lopsided electoral triumph in Egypt, which has been so enthusiastically welcomed by the Obama administration and top Democratic emissary John Kerry, the Muslim Brotherhood has announced plans to submit the Camp David Accords — the treaty that has kept the peace between Egypt and Israel for over 30 years — to a popular vote. This way, the Brotherhood ensures that Egypt renounces the treaty (a top Brotherhood priority) but can claim that it honored its commitment to “respect the treaty” — a commitment the Obama State Department actually touted as credible. There’s nothing like spring fever.
