31. egypt has double standards!
AV ,   uk   (08.21.11)
they have a chutspah when they sent over terrorists!
32. Israel better off with Sinai than this sham peace treaty
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (08.21.11)
If the Egyptians want to end the peace treaty let them evacuate the Sinai and return it to Israel
33. What about a three-finger salute apology!
(08.21.11)
Egypt will have a right to speak only after it respects the Peace Treaty and stops cooperating with the terrorists. Those three Egyptian soldiers were corrupt and helped the terrorists cross into Israel - they got what they deserved.
34. Viva Egyptian Revolution : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.21.11)
35. Regret and apology are different
Isaac   (08.21.11)
When Mubarak was in charge, the US kept disparaging his fears about the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups. No one is saying that Mubarak was a fountain of democracy, but he understood the situation with which now, the Supreme Military Council has to deal. Unfortunately, the US has a president who says what is popular at the moment instead of thinking of the consequences of his words and actions. It sounds as if Israel is trying to quiet the situation so as to avert a war on many fronts. The escalation of Iran's nuclear development needs to be dealt with as well as Hizbullah. Israel is saying she regrets the deaths; she is not apologizing - there is a big difference.
36. never sufficient
Ann ,   Israel   (08.21.11)
No apology will ever be sufficient, so why apologize!
37. hells what? first they said apology now what do they wants?
Ester   (08.21.11)
maybe we should send them some flowers and chocolates!?
38. This is sickening
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (08.21.11)
And I see now that our silly president added his own words of apology. Why this craven behavior? The hell with Egypt.
39. how attack the egyptian border ?
Mohamed ,   Egypt   (08.21.11)
borders are the responsibility of Israel and Egypt. so it is mutually responsibility not for Egypt only. and there are no need to attack Egypt inside, if Israel afraid multiple soldiers in your area don't ask Egypt to guard you
40. Apologise?
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (08.21.11)
God must apologise for inflicting this chaos on the middle east.
41. We won't, Mohamed.
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (08.21.11)
We know, after all, that Egypt can barely defend itself, is capable of at best an inept response. Israel will take care of itself alone - as usual.
42. After You
Yahia ,   Egypt   (08.21.11)
43. Good Morning Israel!!!
Raouf Morton ,   New Zealand   (08.21.11)
As a loyal reader to this parer, I find it is important to correct some ideas of other posts. look guys, I have to comment on this because it's obvious you are still living in your sweet dream of the peace treaty that will soon turn to a nightmare... As an Egyptian I tell you that an appology is not enough for us for killing our people... We are strictly requesting to withdraw our Embassador and kicking out yours as a first step... Meanwhile we know our Government is not that strong, but believe me after our revolution we completely count on the power of people. Also, as an Egyptian I tell you that your leaders always fool your people by talking about National Security as a reason for every foolish act they take, meanwhile you all know that your national security can be simply preserved by being a decent Nation with no bloody acts all the way. You really gained the award for "Most Hated Nation on Earth", so congratulations... And congratulations having new victims from one of your neighbour Countries whom you always do your best to preserve its people hatered... And believe me, you always succeed with minimum effort :) I hope the paper as an (independant) decent newspaper will show my comment with full transparency as an openion from the opposite side, meanwhile, this is not guaranteed, but let me hope...

44. You Wish

ghostq   (08.21.11)
r responsible for any hostility from your side, your gov used the void to lokat soldiers in Sinai since the revolution for reason, and the so call forign artiliry for Hamas get the blind eye when your gov move more troops to Sinai, sound like colaboration with Hamas and not peacfull act for justic.
48. Wilfully blind
op ,   uk   (08.21.11)
Bless you all but you seem to feel that Israel is entitled to kill with impunity. Talk about mass delusion.
49. Common Sense
Common Sense ,   Egypt   (08.22.11)
Does that make sense? Isreal killed 3 Egyptians, like it did before. So what!!! Isreal used to do so with no problem... It is the Arab's mistake from the beging, they should be awake to protect Isreal's land from Eillat explosion. Actually, Isreal will expect Egyptians to say oh Thank you Isreal for killing 3 Egyptians and you are welcome to kill more any time.
50. sinai problem
karim ,   egypt   (08.22.11)

53. No Peace
Egyptian and proud ,   cairo,Egypt   (08.22.11)
your apology is not acceptable and i'm here to send a message to israel from the 85 million egyptians:"if you dare to invade one meter from our land, this time it'll be your end. go ask your parents who is the egyptian soldier and let them tell you about what they saw in 6th october 1973. you will find millions of egyptian soldiers ready to die for EGYPT
