I don’t share your apprehension. Egypt was, very courageously, the first Arab nation to reconcile its relationship with Judaism and Israel. While relations today with Israel are not entirely warm and cheerful, that is to be expected for two countries so different in many ways. More important is the fact that Egypt and Israel have never once violated the treaty and the normal conduct of nations. On a personal level, I know of no one who has a loathing or dislike of Egyptians. I was in Cairo about 12 years ago, and I’ve been in the Sinai many times, and never once had any bad experiences. It’s not a problem.
