We can't do that. For good or ill, we have made Israel our chief ally in the region. Since that is the case, it is critical to our the interest of said ally that the new Egyptian government hold true to the terms of the 1979 peace treaty. Since rhetoric from the new government has seemed to place that treaty in danger, our continued diplomatic efforts in Egypt are forced. We simply
must treat with them.
