DEBKAfile Exclusive Report July 9, 2012,
Israeli government and military leaders were taken aback by the news of US President Barack Obama’s invitation to the new Egyptian president Mohammed Mursi to visit Washington in September – in breach of the president’s assurances to US Jewish leaders at the White House last month, debkafile’s exclusive Washington and Jerusalem sources report. His key assurance was that Mursi would not be invited to the White House and Obama would not maintain direct telephone contact with himuntil he met certain conditions, the foremost of which concerned a public and unambiguous commitment to Egypt’s 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
The American Jewish delegation was assured that President Mursi would be required to devote a section of his earliest speech on foreign affairs to the specific affirmation of his profound commitment to the peace pact with Israel. The unspecific pledge to uphold Cairo’s international accords he made upon his election on June 24 ‘would not satisfy’ the US president, the American Jewish delegation was promised. Indeed the new Egyptian president would also be required to table the peace pact with Israel in the new Egyptian parliament for ratification.
With these assurances, the Jewish delegation was satisfied.
However, it turned out Monday, July 8, that, instead of standing by his promises, President Obama had sent Deputy Secretary of State William Burns to Cairo for two days of interviews with Egyptian officials, in none of which did future relations with Israel figure. President Mursi’s spokesman then announced that the US official had handed the new president an invitation to visit the White House in September. Neither Burns nor the White House contradicted him.
Furthermore, in a briefing to reporters after he saw Mursi, Burns vehemently denied that the peace pact had been discussed.
Next Saturday, July 14, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is due in Cairo after a visit to Israel.
To signal disapproval and concern over the impact on Israel’s security of Washington’s unconditional outreach to Muslim Brotherhood-ruled Cairo, Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered the speeding up of construction on the fortified fence on the Israel-Egyptian border, known for decades as “the peace border,” and completion of the expanded military deployment in the border region.
In Jerusalem, the Obama administration is seen as suddenly backtracking on the conditions set the incoming Egyptian president in the last week of June, which essentially made US support of his regime conditional on his performance in key fields:
Those conditions were first revealed by DEBKA-Net-Weekly:
Observance of a ‘democratic’ agenda;
1. Respect for human rights, namely women’s’ status and minority rights, especially relating to the Christian Copts;
2. The formation of a broad national unity government representing the country’s active mainstream parties – not just his own Muslim Brotherhood.
3. Making the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel a central pillar of his foreign policy;
4. Public affirmation of his commitment to uphold peace relations with Israel.
5. A resolute effort to curb the terrorist elements running wild in Sinai and threatening Israeli security by restoring Egyptian control.
6. An end to the rabid anti-American and anti-Western rhetoric pervading Egyptian media and the persecution of Western NGOs operating in Egypt.
The last three points give those demands the weight of an ultimatum:
7. Not until all the above steps are taken, will President Morsi be welcomed in D.C. as an official guest.
8. Furthermore, not until the Egyptian president has satisfied Washington on all these scores will the Obama administration use its influence with the World Bank to ease Egypt’s dire liquidity problems and help find the cash to buy food on world markets. If Morsi can’t find the money to feed the population, hungry Egyptians will be out on the streets of their cities once again – clamoring this time for his and the Muslim Brotherhood’s removal.
Those conditions have mostly gone by the board ALONG WITH Obama’s PROMISES, debkafile’s sources report.
Let’s not forget about the head of the snake, George Soros.
This should be independently taped and tacked on the doors of EVERY synagogue and JCC in the US. On the lamposts in front of every synagogue and JCC in the US. Placed on the windshields of every car parked in a lot of every synagogue and JCC ….etc. Those who do not know or care need to be woken up. Continuously.
I fully agree with all the bad things people mentioned in comments. We have to keep fighting. We have to fight voters who support Obama.
The Medrash tells us that the majority of Israelities opposed the exodus from Egypt. The American Revolution was led by a minority, with the majority supporting Britain.
The question is why. My theory is the lack of rational thinking, essential for human survival. Animals do not have to be rational. We do, or die. See Rational Thinking, Government Policies, Science, and Living. Rational thinking starts with clearly stated principles, continues with logical deductions, and then examines empirical evidence to possibly modify the principles.
@ James B – Canada:
Bascially true–except there is no Karma–but every individual does get his or her just due according to how they have lived their lives–and whether they stood with or against Israel.
Whenever Barack H. Obama promises something which is actually good–you can be sure he is lying–Barack H. Obama has lied every step of the way up to illegally becoming president until now–Barack H. Obama made it clear he came to bring ruination–and he has kept his word!
Of course pathetic self hating Godless Jews–will continue to bend over backwards and kiss the a*s of Barack H. Obama and every other evil Marxist democrat!
W H Y ???
james has hit the pertinent points on the head, so no need of repeating the message.
i would only comment that what perturbs me is the obvious and blatant collusion between libtards AND conservatives (which are really rinos) to KEEP this bastard in power instead of having him and his cohorts tried for treason and executed.
WHERE is the outrage for having him still around?
god, this is a case of the frog slowly boiled to death, if there has ever been one!
Obama is sure his foolish Jewish supporters will still stay with him. The National Jewish Democratic Council still claims he is Israel’s best friend and that the GOP are all Israel’s enemies.
Obama is also becoming bolder in showing his deep animosity towards Israel.
But we must admit that we Jews are too slow to respond to betrayal and insult.
I wish our timid Jewish leaders would slam Obama in public for his treachery.
I also fear that America will pay a price for Obama’s betrayal of Israel as promised in Genesis 12:3.
American Chbristians don’t “do” karma — that’s from Hinduism and, by derivation, Judaism. In the comments about Obama, though, you’re right on.
Anyone who took this muslim POTUS at his word is either a fool or a Jewish Democrat; the same thing.
Obama is the devil of devils; the latter representing the overbearing and obnoxious American supporters ( dems, idiots, banking cartel, journalists, stockbrokers, fools, charlatans ) and his fans in Europe.
Eisenhower, Carter and Clinton ( both of them ) have all made promises to their foolish and naive Jewish supporters regarding the muslim vermin but in the end, ALWAYS screw the Jew.
America and the West have a lot of deserved karma to it. Ass kissing muslims and defending every muslim ” rebel ” be it in Libya or Syria as does Hitlery, is not going to help.
Hope you are all investing in silver coins because you will be happy you did.
