Egypt’s 1979 peace agreement with Israel should serve as “encouragement to Palestinians and other Arab states to reach their own peace agreements with the Jewish state,” Egypt’s ambassador to Israel Hazem Khairat said, according to Times of Israel. “They should go back to Sadat’s address to the Knesset 40 years ago and they should see what we have been able to achieve, and not achieve, from that speech,” Khairat said.
