An adviser to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has suggested that the peace treaty with Israel could be renegotiated.

In a dramatic series of events at the weekend, Mr Morsi sacked two key military figures from the Mubarak era and effectively seized control of the Arab country.

Mr Mors is an Islamist from the once-banned Muslim Brotherhood . His political coup is being watched with concern in Israel and the West.

His legal adviser, Mohammed Gadallah, told Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm on Monday that the president was exploring the possibility of redwrawing the 1979 Camp David Accords.
