Most Egyptians Favor Annulling Peace With Israel

One more obvious reason why so many should not have been prematurely enthusiastic about popular protests in a country with such popular sentiments. The Jerusalem Post reports:

Most Egyptians are in favor of annulling a peace treaty with Israel, according to a Pew Research Center poll released on Monday.

The US-based think tank polled 1,000 adults throughout Egypt between March 24 and April 7, finding that only 36 percent would maintain peace. The percentage of Egyptians who support annulling the treaty (54%) does not vary amongst those who sympathize with Islamic fundamentalists and those who do not.
