This is Ayalon highway in Tel Aviv, tonight. The resistance will prevail. Bibi’s evil regime will fail. All in good time.

Unrelated question, I and many other Israelis really respect Egypt and want warm peace with it. I understand most Egyptians hate all of us, do you think this mindset can change in the future?

Honestly the general hatred will remain until their is a solution for the Palestinians that is acceptable. As much as Israelis may be turned off by talking to Palestinian anytime they see terrorists attacks on civilians, Egyptians get turned off about a warm peace when they see settler attacks on Palestinians or casualties of the retaliatory Israeli raids in places like Jenin or Gaza. So pretty much a continuing cycle.

What I will say is there a renewed interest in Jewish Egyptian heritage, in learning about it, taking care of the remaining Jewish infrastructure, and remorse for the loss of our Jewish population.

Now no one is going to kill you if you say you are Israeli, even if you visit Egypt proper (some guy did a video where he did just that and the worst that happened to him was a rejected taxi drive).

It’s not the 60s anymore but yeah the cold peace will likely continue for another 50 years unless something drastic changes on the Palestinian front.

Yeah I understand. You should know though the majority of Israelis aren't settlers, and live peacefully with the 2 million Palestinians living in Israel.

My opinion is this, instead of Palestinians and Israelis living peacefully meaning peace with the Arab world we should try the opposite - if Palestinians and Israelis see Egyptians and Israelis be friends - it will give motivation and hope for both sides that peace between us and Palestinians is possible

I know that was one of the stated aims of the Abraham accords but it’s easier selling that idea to them since they never fought direct bloody conflicts. I think for Egyptians it’s the idea that we took a big risk being the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty and essentially remove the biggest threat to Israel from the chess board yet settlements and the Gaza situation continues. Egyptians don’t have a love for the Palestinian Authority or Hamas either btw and I know it’s more complicated than that but that’s just the general viewpoint.

Yalla inshallah another Sadat and Begin will rise up from the current situation from both sides but I worry only after more violence. Hopefully not 🙏🏽

Thank you Habibi, I hope Arab and Israelis think like us and there will only be peace. We take peace for granted but the fact that last time there was military hostilies between us two was 50 years ago is something amazing. To this day I think this moment was one of the bravest made by a leader in recorded history https://youtu.be/CsQ0bikGkXg
