The new leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is himself an Egyptian, has called for the cancellation of the Egypt-Israeli Peace Treaty.

He is encouraging Egypt to end its peace treaty with Israel, to establish Islamic rule, and to "stop Jerusalem from turning into a Jewish city."

He also praises militants in the Sinai desert who have fourteen times blown up the pipeline carrying gas to Israel.
