Professor Ezzedine Fishere's article titled, These Two Countries Made Peace. Don't Let It Fall Apart, was published by the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN), an Arabic-language multimedia news outlet delivering news across the Middle East and North Africa.
The Israeli-Egyptian peace is often taken for granted. It shouldn't be. What began in the mid-1970s as a set of modest disengagement agreements has, over half a century, grown into one of the most durable security relationships in the Middle East. It has survived wars, uprisings, insurgencies, and political upheavals. Now, amid the mayhem in Gaza and rising tensions between Cairo and Jerusalem, that relationship is at risk. Destabilizing this relationship is reckless – for both countries, the region, and outside powers.
