Concerns over Egypt’s New Regime

August 1, 2011

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was among the first to voice concern, warning that Israel’s relationship with the post-Mubarak regime is unlikely to be as productive as relations were with the Mubarak government, even though that relationship became synonymous with the term “cold peace.”

Late in April, Egypt’s army chief-of-staff warned Israel not to interfere with plans to open the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip—a move Israel sees as undermining security. The Israelis are also concerned about multiple overtures to Hamas extended by the new Egyptian regime.
