Israel has nothing to do with peace. The initial plan was for the bill to be submitted to the People's Assembly on Saturday. Its signatories would then hold a news conference at the headquarters of the Wafd Party to make the announcement. However, the deputies failed to show up and the news conference turned out to be a disappointment for all except the Wafdists, who appeared to have had a last-minute change of heart. At the press conference, deputies were surprised to hear that the Wafd Party wants to amend, not abolish, the treaty and that the Wafd believes that the approval of all opposition parties is a prerequisite for submitting the bill to the Assembly.
Abolition is out of the question.
If the parties agree, the bill would be submitted to the Assembly. If they don't, the issue should be closed. We can't forget that we represent our parties. Acting independently would be very dangerous. Sameh Ashour, assistant secretary-general of the Nasserist Party and its representative at the Assembly, disagreed.
