Egypt is committed to regional security and stability, including for the Israeli people, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi wrote to President Shimon Peres in a brief missive. Receipt of the letter was confirmed by Peres’s office, and online by the Foreign Ministry, .. http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Government/Communiques/2012/Peres-letter-Morsy-31-Jul-2012.htm .. on Tuesday.
In the two-sentence letter — undated, unsigned, misspelling Peres’s name as “Perez,” and referring to the region as the “Middle east” — the newly elected Islamist head of state offers his “deep thanks” for the Israeli president’s recent Ramadan good wishes. Morsi expresses his interest in getting the peace process back on track and achieving “security and stability for all peoples of the region, including that [sic] Israeli people.”
Later Tuesday, the website of the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram quoted a spokesman for Morsi denying .. http://www.timesofisrael.com/morsis-office-denies-egyptian-president-sent-letter-to-peres/ .. he had sent the letter. Israeli sources remained adamant that it was genuine, however, and news of its receipt, “Communicated by the President’s Office,” remained on the Foreign Ministry’s website as of midnight Tuesday.
At a press conference later that day, she denied taking any steps to bring Morsi and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu together .. http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2012/07/195027.htm . “It is up to the two nations, and the president and the prime minister, to make their own scheduling plans,” she said.

“As someone who took part in the process that led to the signing of the peace agreement between your country and mine, I know that both Egypt and Israel see with utmost importance peace and stability in our region as something that serves the interests of all peoples of the region,” Peres wrote in his letter to Morsi, which was written and signed in Arabic.
"You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don’t give equal rights to women, you can’t progress. This region can’t remain separate in a world that became global. It will happen. I’m optimistic about our future. I’m optimistic about America’s future. The United States is the only power in history that became great by giving and not by taking. I think the crisis was when the United States had more money than ideas. Money doesn’t produce money. Ideas produce money."
rocks .. "every person is the best doctor of himself ... be engaged .. to be curious, to care, to love people, and to be an optimist ... the real secret of life is goodwill, and not the macho..."

But what kind of peace are we talking about? Look how President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt sent you a personal letter in July and then denied writing it.
Why does that matter? President Morsi has to answer a great many questions inside his own party. I was surprised not by his denial but rather by the fact that he sent me the letter. The whole matter shows me that Morsi, like any leader taking office, faces tough dilemmas. It is very easy to play the role of the abiding Muslim when you are not in power, but things get complicated when you are. Take, for example, the Egyptian economy, which relies heavily on tourism. If they don’t allow tourists to come and spend their vacations the way they like, they won’t come. No bikini, no tourism. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=83520108
