The former U.S. President, Jimmy Carter, warned Israelis of the dangers of the Egyptian demonstrations organized in front of the Israeli embassy, which erupted after the death of Egyptian soldiers on the Egyptian-Israeli borders. He added the Egyptians' anger will undermine the Camp David peace treaty signed by Egypt and Israel in Camp David in 1979, especially since Egypt and Arabs managed to overthrow their dictatorship regimes. Carter said Tel-Aviv did commit to the peace treaty and so Egyptians feel Israel is working to mislead them. He added, in a meeting with the Israeli newspaper Haartez, the continuation of Egyptian demonstrations will negatively affect the relations between both Israel and Egypt. He has been following up with the Egyptian demonstrations and the replacing of the Israeli flag with an Egyptian one. He pointed out Israeli policies led Egyptians to the state of anger, which not only affects Egyptians but all Arabs against Israel. He said Israel did no commit to the Camp David peace treaty by enabling Palestinians to establish their independent state. Carter expected Egyptians will not suspend their protests until all their demands are met, which include cutting off relations with Israel if it insisted on resuming its policies in the Middle East and not allowing Palestinians to establish their independent state. He highlighted Egyptians focus on the Palestinian issue so they pressure their ruling regimes to end the peace treaty to pressure Israel to restore Palestinian rights. Mubarak's regime did the opposite and focused on the peace treaty with Israel at the expense of Palestinian rights. Carter criticized the Israeli government for their extremist policies, which they pursued against their Arab neighbors. He also criticized the current U.S. administration and the former administrations since they ignored Israeli violations and did not prevent Israel from resuming their settlement activities.
