The Muslim Brotherhood said on Wednesday that it would join a second round of the dialogue with Vice President Omar Suleiman. “The first round was to test the waters,” said Mohamed Morsi, a member of the group's guidance bureau. “The second round will start in a few days.” Morsi vowed that the Brotherhood would respect Egypt's peace agreement with Israel. But he said that the treaty would be reviewed by the new parliament. “It talked about a just and comprehensive peace, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” he said. “Where is that peace, and where is that state?” He ruled out the involvement of Hamas and Iran in recent demonstrations. “How can the besieged Hamas mobilize eight million people on the streets,” he wondered. “It was a purely Egyptian move.” Media spokesman Essam al-Arian said the group would not nominate a candidate in the presidential elections and is not currently considering forming a formal political party. Under Mubarak's regime, the group had been banned. “We are in a state of revolution,” he said. “All we want now is stability.” Bureau member Saad al-Katatny countered claims by Iran's Islamic Revolution Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei of an Islamist revolution in Egypt. “Do not drag the Muslim Brotherhood into this,” he said.
