It's composed by Youseff Ibrahim who, back in 2006 already was promoting a new position on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict that, basically,
tells the Palestinians that the armed struggle against Israel is over and that the Palestinians, who lost, should negotiate in order to ensure the future of their children.
Ibrahim is a senior Egyptian journalist who served for 24 years as a senior reporter for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and had interviewed almost every Arab leader during those years. Since 2001 Ibrhim serves as a member of the "Council on Foreign Relations," a Think-Tank in New York.

What this adds up to is, in effect, a walkout by Egypt from the so-called peace process conducted by United States and its globetrotting state secretary, Senator Kerry...
- On Thursday Ahmad Al Zend, president of the Egyptian Judges' Club (Nadi al Quda), founded in 1939 as the main association of jurists, denounced Palestinians as ‘’sleeping agents’’ bent on undermining Egypt’s secular ethos...
- Egypt’s army has shut down the Rafah border-crossing,..
- The most ominous move for the Palestinians has been a declaration by Egypt’s government-owned newspaper as well the independent press that 16 Egyptian border guards and officers who were assassinated in cold blood a year ago in the Sinai were killed by Hamas operatives...
Oh oh.
