Muslim Brotherhood to review Camp David treaty

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood said that the country's peace treaty with the Zionist regime needs re-evaluation by the country's new parliament, in press remarks by a senior member of the group published Friday.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "A long time has passed since the Camp David accord was signed, and like the other agreements it needs to be reviewed, and this is in the hands of the parliament," said Mahmoud Hussein, the group's secretary-general.

He denied a report saying that the Muslim Brotherhood had reached an understanding with the United States and the Zionist regime on "the importance of safeguarding the peace treaty with Israel."

Last week, the occupying regime of Israel expressed concern at the gains of Islamist parties in the first round of Egypt's parliamentary elections and urged any future government to uphold the 1979 peace treaty.

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood made big gains during the initial round of the first elections since a popular revolt this year forced former dictator Hosny Mubarak out of power.
