Good explainer on #Egypt-#Israel normalization 40 years ago mediated by #US Pres #Carter between #Egyptian Pres #Sadat & #Israeli PM #Begin.
Then in 1997, as now, Israel opposed ceding any land.
Back then, those lands included Egypt’s #Sinai Peninsula Israel captured in 1967 war.
With 1978 #CampDavidAccords & a peace treaty next, by which Israel agreed to withdraw from Sinai & the countries established full diplomatic relations
...and if #Egypt does repudiate the #CampDavidAccords, don't expect the #AbrahamAccords the #UAE & #SaudiArabia signed with #Israel to last long either. It won't take much after that to spark the next deadly Middle East war.
Egypt will tear it up - they aren't bluffing.

The #CampDavidAccords have been one of the foundations of peace between #Israel and #Egypt since they were struck in the wake of the 1973 #ArabIsraeliWar. Revoking them would spread further uncertainty in the volatile region
Invasion of #Rafah could threaten key Israel-Egypt peace treaty
