Tehran — Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood will eventually cancel the Camp David
Agreement, despite the group’s announcement that it respects international
agreements Egypt has signed, said Amin al-Sayed Ibrahim, head of Hezbollah’s
political council.

Speaking to the “International Conference on Islamic Awakening and the
Youths,” Ibrahim said that the Egyptian military, so as not to lose its
clout, would never allow the Brotherhood to write the constitution or even
form a constituent assembly to write the constitution.

Following their electoral victories in Parliament, Egypt's most organized
political group has offered assurances that it would respect the 1979 peace
treaty with Israel.

When asked early this month whether Washington believed that the Islamist
party would uphold the treaty, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland
said that the party "has made commitments to us in this regard.”

Ibrahim said that the current unrest in Syria is a conspiracy and not a
revolution, as western media claims. The Egyptian delegation clashed with
him over the remarks.

“The Syrians transfer arms to the Palestinian resistance,” he said.

Over 1,200 young people from Iran as well as 73 other countries are
participating in the two-day conference, Iran’s Fars news agency reported on
Monday.
