The nephew of assassinated Egyptian president Anwar Sadat on Saturday called for a review of the peace treaty his uncle signed with Israel after allegations that Egyptian PoWs were killed four decades ago.
"The peace agreement Egypt signed with Israel is not a 'Koran' and everything is open to being amended for the benefit of future generations," parliamentarian Anwar Esmat Sadat said during a debate in parliament.
Claims in an Israeli documentary aired last week that an elite Israeli unit led by a current cabinet minister killed hundreds of Egyptian PoWs in cold blood during the 1967 Six Day War raised a furore in Egypt.
During the angry parliamentary debate Sadat presented a request signed by 20 deputies calling for the freezing of gas, steel and cement exports to Israel, as well as an end to the "QIZ" economic agreement that allows duty-free access to the US for jointly produced products.
