In the United States, we can do almost anything we want. It's not like Egypt, where you're going to get murdered by the security forces.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Egypt is going through difficult times and we cannot allow it to carry on.
Egypt's problem is that you've got an economy that works for about 40 million people, only you have 90 million people. The answer to the Egyptian problem is not guns, but jobs. We've got to find a private-sector, nongovernmental, aggressive way of creating jobs. That's not America's role totally.
Egypt is not a country we live in but a country that lives within us.
American official policy is that Egypt is an ally of the United States.
We can't possibly fight all the terrorists in all the countries where they exist because we don't have the money or manpower to do so.
Egypt needs to catch up with the rest of the world. We need to be free, democratic, and - society where people have the right to live in freedom and dignity.
I don't think the Egyptian people want to see what is a very clear effort to obtain political and economic rights turn into any kind of new form of oppression or suppression or violence or letting loose criminal elements.
We in Israel certainly have a great interest in seeing peace, stability, and security restored to Egypt. We want nothing more than peace for the Egyptian people. We're not going to get involved in how Egypt, how the Egyptians should run themselves. That's an internal Egyptian affair.
The only way to kill militancy, to reduce it, is to provide opportunities to people who have no opportunities. I've always told my American friends that.
We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.
