Israeli leaders and many of their American allies don't much like where this is going, as peace with Egypt is central to Israel's security.
Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice president of the Council of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, speaks for a lot of Netanyahu's American friends in this interview, I think.
"There is a myth being created that ElBaradei is a human rights activist," Hoenlein told the Orthodox Jewish site Yeshiva World News. "He is a stooge of Iran, and i don't use the term lightly. When he was the head of the International Atomic Energy Agnecy, for which he got a Nobel Peace Prize, he fronted for them, he distorted the reports."
(ElBaradei has been a skeptic of the view -- widely held in the West -- that Iran wants a nuclear weapon.)
