WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak planned to deploy troops in eastern Sinai near the Israeli border to provide military backing for Palestinian demands from the Jewish state, a Palestinian document says.
The PLO document quoted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as pledging to move forces into the Sinai to force Israel to accept Palestinian demands. The document said Mubarak issued the pledge to PA Chairman Yasser Arafat in 1996.
Mubarak, according to the document, planned to unilaterally terminate the restrictions placed on Egyptian troop deployment in the Sinai, a key element of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli treaty. The president argued that the demilitarization clause of the peace treaty was to expire in 1997.
"We will move our forces, not to declare war, but to tell Israel, 'The time has come to fulfill our legitimate rights to deploy military forces in the Sinai under the Camp David agreement, that determined that Egypt has the right to deploy forces in the Sinai after 18 years," Mubarak was quoted as saying in the PLO document.
