On Tuesday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi gave a run-of-the-mill speech<\/a> at the inauguration of a new power plant. He also spoke, as he did two years ago<\/a> and as many have done before him, of a \u201cgreat opportunity\u201d to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, declaring<\/a> his support for the French initiative to hold a Mideast peace conference later this year \u2013 an initiative that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected.<\/p>\n

The only extraordinary thing about al-Sisi\u2019s speech was the response of Israel\u2019s opposition leader: Labor Chairman Yitzhak Herzog hurriedly issued a statement calling the remarks a historical landmark, no less. Unfortunately, a close look at the actual content of a-Sisi\u2019s speech and the context in which it was given reveals that the chances of regional peace remain the same. The Egyptian president said nothing new or ground-breaking, and Herzog merely used his words as an excuse to join Israel\u2019s right-wing government, allegedly for the sake of peace.<\/p>\n

Al-Sisi noted that several days ago, Israelis marked their independence while Palestinians marked their disaster \u2013 yet both peoples live in the same place. He reminded listeners that half of all Egyptians cannot remember and therefore understand the sheer animosity that marked the Israeli-Arab wars of the past. This, he claimed, is thanks to the \u201creal and lasting\u201d peace between Israel and Egypt, which unimaginably changed Egyptians\u2019 attitudes towards Israel. He believes that the same will happen between Israelis and Palestinians, and that a warmer peace will prevail between Egypt and Israel \u201cif we give Palestinians hope for a state, with bilateral guarantees \u2013 which Egypt is willing to provide \u2013 for life, security, and stability\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian president voiced hope that his words will be heeded. addressing Palestinians, he asked for reconciliation between the different factions (while refraining from mentioning Hamas by name) and offered Egypt\u2019s help. He then turned to Israelis and emphasized that despite the apparently grim regional outlook, peace is within reach. Acknowledging that Israeli public opinion is crucial to jumpstarting any negotiations, he asked Israelis to trust him personally, as he lived through the massive shift from the wars of the past to present-day peace between Egypt and Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, Israeli political parties, come to an agreement so that this crisis can be resolved\u201d, said al-Sisi. As the speech drew to an end, the president reiterated his hope that \u201cthe leaders and parties in Israel will agree on the vital importance of this issue\u201d and promised that peace with the Palestinians would bring miracles into for the entire Middle East. He even asked that the Israeli leadership \u201callow the speech to be broadcast again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such words are certainly heartwarming, but hardly a surprise. No mention was made of the well-known problems that have dogged the peace process for decades. The choice to directly address Israelis was not unusual, either: Middle Eastern leaders have often done so, especially King Hussein and King Abdallah the Second of Jordan. In fact, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has directly addressed Israelis in his speeches so often that he seems to have given up on the Netanyahu government altogether in favor of talking directly to the Israeli people.<\/p>\n

The unusual aspect of al-Sisi\u2019s speech was in fact his direct request concerning \u201cIsraeli parties\u201d. Arab leaders are extremely wary of being perceived as meddling in domestic affairs, an accusation that is regularly bandied about between Arab countries. When they wish to go over the heads of the Israeli leadership \u2013 i.e., right-wing governments \u2013 they usually address the public, not opposition parties.<\/p>\n

Al-Sisi\u2019s repeated mention of Israeli parties and the need for political agreement within Israel only gains meaning in the context of the opposition leader\u2019s move to join the Netanyahu government. It remains unclear whether al-Sisi commented on this of his own accord or per request. However, both Netanyahu and Herzog pounced on the opportunity. The prime minister welcomed Egypt\u2019s \u201cwillingness to make every effort to advance a future of peace and security between us and the Palestinians and the peoples of the region.\u201d He even ventured that \u201cIsrael is ready to participate with Egypt and other Arab states in advancing both the diplomatic process and stability in the region.\u201d Yet he adamantly refrained from any concrete comment on the French initiative or the possibility of a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

Herzog went much further. In a Facebook post, he called al-Sisi\u2019s speech \u201ca dramatic announcement representing the possibility of a historic process.\u201d Shortly afterwards he posted a video describing the speech as \u201ca historical breakthrough\u201d that was \u201cdramatic primarily because of the details he [al-Sisi] gave about what he wishes to do\u201d (details that were, as noted above, totally absent from the speech). The opposition leader urged Israelis to recall that he, too, had spoken just days ago of a \u201crare regional opportunity\u201d. \u201cI knew what I was talking about,\u201d he emphasized. Herzog then called upon the government and the prime minister to make full use of the opportunity. <\/p>\n

A politician who is interested in peace with the Palestinians rather than, say, a chair in Netanyahu\u2019s government, has no reason to get excited over the Egyptian president\u2019s remarks. They are certainly pleasant, but Israelis have heard much braver and more detailed proposals from Abbas himself. In the end, what is barring Israeli doves from serious negotiation with the Palestinians is not what the Egyptian or even Palestinian presidents think and say. It is primarily the recalcitrance of Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.<\/p>\n
