The 2011 Egyptian Protests

Foreign relations
Foreign governments in the West including the United States have regarded Mubarak as an important ally and supporter in the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. As provisioned in the 1978 Camp David Accords, both Israel and Egypt receive billions of aid annually from the United States—Egypt receiving over US$1.3 billion each year. The majority of Egyptians regard Mubarak as serving the interests of West and not the people, angering especially the youth.
