<p>CAIRO, (PIC)&#8211; The new Egyptian  Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi has criticized the Egyptian position as  Israel launches a new aggression on the Gaza Strip, saying a national  security council consisting of foreign ministers and experts should have  been created to deal with the position in Gaza.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He said that Egypt requires a national  security council to examine decisions and provide ideas according to the  systems of developed countries.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to Arabi, under the old regime,  Egypt&#8217;s foreign policy was turned into not more than a ”reaction” for  current events, and issues were managed randomly and improvised.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Arabi explained Israel&#8217;s intent behind the  Camp David Accord was to naturalize the Arab state&#8217;s treatment of  Israel. Egypt had signed the treaty and must abide by it, he said. And  Israel must also abide by its clauses.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”We will stick to all of the treaties we signed, and we will demand that they keep their side of the deal,” Arabi said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">”There must be some decisiveness in the  issues Israel has not abided by, such as the clause that states that  Israel must maintain peace with countries that want [peace], which has  not happened with Palestine, which has agreed to peace with Israel,” he  said. ”The conflict between Palestine and Israel should be ended and not  managed&#8230;for the benefit of Israel, Palestine and the entire world.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He added: ”We will not be a strategic  treasure for Israel as they used to say during the time of Mubarak. We  will only abide by the treaties.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Egyptian delegation had opposed the Camp David Accord and had told Pres. Sadat not to sign. But Sadat insisted on doing so.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Arabi said Egypt will revive its national  role as the largest country in the Arab region and has paid a high price  for standing for what is right and maintaining agreements or rights.</p>
