Egypt's ultraconservatives support Israel treaty

None

The spokesman of Egypt's ultraconservative Islamist party told Israel's Army Radio in unprecedented remarks broadcast Wednesday that the group is not opposed to the country's historic peace treaty with Israel.

 

Yousseri Hamad's interview with the Israeli broadcaster is unusual for followers of the Salafi Islamic trend, who typically shun Israel for its policies toward Palestinians and its control of east Jerusalem. (AP)
