The election results in Egypt are an Islamist "hurricane", "deluge" or "tsunami", according to Israeli newspaper headlines. The defence minister, Ehud Barak, called them "very worrisome". Officials, sounding cool, noted that there were precious few relations left to break, since Egypt had long been severing ties to punish Israel for refusing to yield to the Palestinians in the peace process. Egyptian-Israeli agricultural schemes long ago ground to a halt. Factories with Israeli links that had profited from tariff-free exports to the United States have shut. Since Egypt's revolution began in January, Israeli tourists have virtually stopped coming. This year Egyptian militants have blown up a pipeline pumping Egyptian gas to Israel nine times. And Israel's embassy in Cairo remains closed. It could get worse. Before the Camp David peace accords were signed 33 years ago, Israel's front with Egypt was its most menacing--and it could become so again. The Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch, Hamas, which, to Israel's chagrin, still rules the Gaza Strip between Israel and Egypt, hopes that better relations with a new Islamist-oriented Egyptian government will bolster it.
