On Sunday, February 20th, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren had an op-ed published in The New York Times‘ Week in Review.

In ”Will Egypt be a Partner in Peace?” Ambassador Oren looked at Israel’s past relationships with Egypt and towards the future  as change in the region is occurring before our very eyes.

“These are indeed historic days, and Israel looks forward to transforming what has long been seen as a cold peace between governments into a deeply rooted warm peace between peoples, a peace between democracies,” Ambassador Oren wrote, “Back in 1952, Ben-Gurion welcomed a new Egyptian leadership, but his dream of a harmonious Middle East was crushed. Our hope is that the current Egyptian revolution realizes Ben-Gurion’s vision, for the benefit of Egyptians and Israelis alike. If the region is indeed on the cusp of a new era, and if that awakening proves peaceful, Israel will be the first to embrace it.”
