 The lack of Egyptian support for the 1979 treaty is caused in part by panethnic and religious fundamentalist sympathies in Egypt for Palestinian and other Arab Muslim militancies against Israel, a Jewish-majority state currently in conflict over the territory of Israel and the Palestinian territories, as well as by Egyptian nationalist sentiment against Israel dating back to before Israel's independence in 1948.Furthermore, most of the letter of both the accords and the treaty has been maintained, but the spirit of normalization that had been intended are perceived as not having been fulfilled.A ceasefire signed between India and Pakistan over Kashmir has kept open hostilities from developing between the two countries, but numerous incidents involving Pakistani nationals, such as the 2008 Mumbai attacks and Indian involvement in Baluchistan have often strained both diplomatic relations and popular support for peace between the nuclear powers.
