Egypt’s Next President?

Amr Moussa, 74, the front-runner in the contest for the presidency of post-revolution Egypt, has called for a renegotiation of the military annexes to the Egyptian-Israel Peace Treaty of 1979.

‘The Treaty will continue to exist,’ he told me in an exclusive interview on 10 September, ‘but Egypt needs forces in Sinai. The security situation requires it. Israel must understand that the restrictions imposed by the Treaty have to be reviewed.’
