"Responding to conciliatory statements by
former Israeli defense minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, officials in Egypt’s
Muslim Brotherhood said Thursday that a future president would meet with the
Israeli ambassador in Cairo “according to protocol.” “We are not scared of the president meeting anyone, as
long as these meetings are governed by rules,” said Brotherhood official
Muhammad Jamal Hishmat. “He [the president] will act according to protocol in a
way that will serve Egyptian interests. What is important is not the meetings,
but what comes of them.”" (thanks Basim)
