Arab position
Egypt is in a bit of a precarius position. They are one of the only countries bordering Israel that stands a hair whim of a chance of over-running the IDF upon a surprise Egyption invasion. But that aside, Egypt has already lost a few wars it had a hand in starting. The Siani penninsula is a wastelan dof nothing-ness. Israel tryly had no resaon to remain there. If anything, it was a strain on the IDF to remain positioned so far from Israel proper. Their withdrawl was for nothing but strategic military reasons, not political. And no one can say that Egypt's opinion and conduct towards Israel got much better since their withdrawl. They still produce extremeists like there is no end, their government, still hugely anti-semestic, sponsors anti-jew AND anti israel AND anti US rallies in the streets. Egypt is on the same level as every other Middle Eastern country...still ass backwards in their society, still repressive..and still anti Israel and anti Jew.
