Egyptian Foreign Minister: Mubarak was a strategic treasure for Israel but we are not

Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi said that Egypt would demand that Israel  pay differences price for the reduced gas it purchased during the Mubarak era and he said: "We will honor everything we signed on and we'll demand that they uphold it too,"

Other wise Al-Arabi noted that the Camp David do not include a clause on selling gas and oil to Israel for a reduced price

These comments contradict remarks made by the new oil minister, who said Egypt wanted to enter negotiations with Israel on the possibility of raising the gas prices from now on.

Al-Arabi noted also that former President Mubarak was a "strategic treasure" for Israel, implying that this would not be the situation from now on.
