"If an Egyptian wants to visit. Israel, he faces serious bureaucratic obstacles and a close investigation by the Egyptian security police," says Dr. Israeli. "It is also noteworthy that while Israel celebrates the anniversary of the peace trea- ty, the event is ignored in the Egypt. The only Egyptians who mark the anniversary are the lawyers, members of the Egyptian Law Society, who regularly burn the Israeli flag on March 26." He also points out that while the Egyptian Am- bassador to Israel is lionized — "invited to speak everywhere, interviewed regularly by the media" — the Israeli ambassador in Cairo is boycotted and ignored. What particularly pains Dr. Israeli is the one truly ex- traordinary product of the peace treaty, a desert research station between Cairo and Alexandria, where Israeli and Egyptian agri- cultural scientists are "work- ing miracles." "Yet, despite the potential importance of this cooperative venture, it never receives any publicity in Egypt. The Egyptian media still carry the most disgusting anti-Semitic tirades. This is equilibrium?" Nevertheless, Harvard- educated Dr. Israeli is grateful for small mercies: "We niust not kid ourselves that a revolutionary relation- ship exists between us," he says, "but it is better thah war." Indeed, few Middle East observers believe that the peace, frigid though it may be, is about to be dashed on the rock of despair. The treaty, they note, has already survived the Israeli bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak, the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, the bom- bing of the Palestine Libera- tion Organiiation head- quarters in Tunis, the Palesti- nian uprising and Egypt's own protracted exclusion from the Arab League. "The important thing is that it is holding together at all," says professor Takis Vatikiotis, a senior Middle East specialist at London University's School of African and Oriental Studies. "Why is it holding? Because peace with Israel is in Egypt's vital interests." According to Vatikiotis, President Sadat embarked on the process, and President Mubarak is maintaining it because Egypt could afford neither to continue the arms race nor another war with Israel. "Let's call a spade a spade. Within a few years, Israel will be spending $7 billion a year on defense," Vatikiotis said. "A war in the early '90s will cost Israel $1 billion a day. "The Arab leaders are also doing their sums, and the sheer price of modern warfare is weighing heavily on their minds, too. As it is, the future for many Arab countries is, bleak." Why, then, have other Arab states not joined the process? Because, says Vatikiotis, Egypt is a special case: "It is the only real nation-state in the Arab world, it has had the same borders for 5,000 years and it hasn't survived for so long by behaving rashly. "Egypt worries about where it is going to get its water, where it is going to get the food to feed its exploding population," Vatikiotis said. According to Dr. Israeli, President Sadat concluded after the 1973 war that Israel would not be defeated on the battlefield and that his first priority must be to insure Egypt's continuing stability. He knew that to please
