After Mubarak’s envoys met Obama, Egypt reversed its stance on Iran.
Mubarak’s spokesman announced that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is more important for Egypt than the Iranian threat. The announcement, if not completely hypocritical, is a major setback for Israel, who expected to fly into Iran through Egypt.
Chances are, the Egyptians lie. A Palestinian state is the last thing they want, as it would give the Muslim Brotherhood and other radicals a safe haven in Gaza.
