Muslim Brotherhood to Israeli TV: referendum to decide peace treaty

If the ‘revolution’ to oust Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak succeeds, Egypt will hold a referendum to decide the fate of its 1979 peace treaty with Israel, Israel’s Channel 10 television quoted a Muslim Brotherhood official as warning Thursday.

‘Israel has nothing to fear but its own crimes,’ Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Assam el-Erian told the channel.

But he also gave reassurances that the Brotherhood was a ‘non- violent’ and not an extremist organization.
