Every effort should be made to help build the new democratic nation with reconciliation and forgiveness, for the sake of Egypt and not for the benefit of a party or a group.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hope that with the success of the transition to democracy in Tunisia that we will export to Egypt a working democratic model.
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.
The Israelis should understand that it is in their long-term interest to have a democratic Egypt as a neighbor, and that it is prudent to acknowledge the legitimate interests of the Palestinians and to grant them their own state.
In fact, effective solidarity with the poor, both individual persons and entire nations, is indispensable for the construction of peace.
The dream of democracy has long been enshrined in the hearts of the Egyptian people. It only needed awakening.
I think it is important that we rebuild an atmosphere of forgiveness and civility in every aspect of our lives.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Salifist parties are a real force in the Egyptian society.
It shouldn't be a matter of who deserves help or not, but of whether we want to be a country that allows its neediest to continue to need. Condemnation of individuals and their choices mutes all these other really important logistical questions about funding and budget and politics.
I hope any government formed in Egypt will understand there is no choice but to maintain the framework of international agreements, which include the peace agreement with Israel.
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.
