Egypt Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to see Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem cleared of Jews, and a Palestinian Arab state established on those biblical lands.
Speaking on behalf of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, Omar Suleiman, head of Egypt's intelligence services, told the ?Palestinians? his nation would stand ?hand in hand with you until all Palestinian territory [sic], in the West Bank and as well as Gaza, is liberated.?
Suleiman was addressing the Palestinian Legislative Council following talks with PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas' regime regarding Israel's removal of all Jews from the Gaza Strip earlier this month.
He said Cairo insisted Israel complete the withdrawal to its pre-1967 borders.
Egypt has attempted on three separate occasions, in conjunction with Syria and other Arab powers, to militarily annihilate the Jewish state.
Israeli and American military experts have deemed Israel's pre-1967 borders indefensible, and warned that a return to them would put Israel in grave danger should the Arabs invade again.
