[edit] Highly Ambiguous
In googling to try to clean this up, I found no less than three different "Cairo agreements":
- The secret agreement of 1969 (the subject of the article)
- The 1994 Cairo Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area (follow-on to the Oslo Accords)
- The Cairo Agreement of 1994 on population and development

[edit] Disputed
This article may document a fringe conspiracy-theory. The Lebanese Civil War articles tend to heat up tempers and encourage sectarian bias. However, this particular article documents an event or agreement which probably (realistically) never occurred. Furthermore, the article presents a strong anti-Palestinian bias. The article needs some clean-up, and I intend to help. Nimur 13:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- The reality of the agreement is of very dubious historic validity, but it gets brought up by reliable sources though in the same breath as saying it is a coin toss as to whether it was a hoax. I'm not sure the history of its use in propaganda, but I see a paper trail. I'm just going to the change the tag to clean-up. -- Kendrick7 18:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Effects
The agreement didn't "cause" the Israeli invasions of Lebanon in any direct or simple way, but it did declare Lebanese national territory to be an Israeli-Palestinian open free-fire zone, with dire consequences for the stability of Lebanon. AnonMoos 17:17, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
