Following up on the impending Egypt/Iran alliance, LGF reader Baldy points out an article with more extensive quotes from Egyptian foreign minister Ahmad Maher, making it very clear that Egypt no longer considers itself bound by the terms of the Camp David agreements: Maher says Camp David an issue of the past between Egypt and Iran.

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Ahmad Maher said in Cairo on Sunday that Cairo considers the issue of Camp David as belonging to the past, stressing that Egypt is now eager to promote ties with the Islamic Republic, IRNA reported.

Maher, in an interview with IRNA and the Central News Bureau, said Egypt considers the case of the Camp David Accords as closed, stressing that the interest of Tehran and Cairo today is in the promotion of mutual cooperation.

“I don’t think using the issue of Camp David will be useful, because it does not exist anymore and is merely a thing of the past,” he said.

“There have been many changes and I believe that this case between Iran and Egypt has already been closed… What exists now is the interest of Iran and Egypt to work with each other.”

OK. So can we stop sending that $2 billion to Egypt now, and put it to work hiring pro-American (or at least, not anti-American) college professors instead?
