I think most of their bluster is for the audience at home.
Interestingly, all the evidence presented states that the Egyptian soldiers were killed in battle. The Egyptians are blowing it all way out of proportion, especially since the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt (brokered by the Americans) blocks any and all actions on military engagements of any type before 1978.

No. To save face, they make make alot of noise about the issue, but to take any action? This issue, with all due respect is in the past. The only good ressurecting the past does for both sides of the conflict (this applies to ANY conflict, not just Israeli/ Arab and Israeli/Palestinian), is to make the conflict deeper, and stagnate the progress towards peace.
Both Israel and our neighbors know that fact. As we have a peace treaty with Egypt, the issue will surface for a bit, then soon be forgotten by all except the families and friends of those killed, and anti-Israel advocates.
A second problem is that due to the fact that the incident happened so many years ago, only those that were there can truly know what happened. The rest is what I call "biased fact", ie- what I know comes with all of the baggage of my biases. This is 95% of what these conflicts (Arab/Israel, Palestinian/ Israeli) are made up of. In these kinds of issues, we may know what we know, but that is not always the truth...there are two sides to every story, which is why you can take the same event, ask and Israeli and an Arab and get two completely different stories...So, whether or not this incident did happen as described, or whether it was embellished is something that we simply cannot be 100% sure of.

Egyptians are moving more and more to word democracy and they can not hide or deny the Israeli crimes. The Government must do something concrete about this issue and the faster the better for both nations peace agreement.

It is not the matter what the Egyptian authorities are planning to do, it is what the Israelis are going to do, their minister is criminal and everybody in this world are a ware of this fact now, how can you accept to keep a “war criminal” as a minister.

The Egyptians are the last ones to be talking about human rights, which is still a foreign concept to them even in their own country. I am not concerned.

No. Under the Carter peace negotiations, Egypt is on the dole for being a good neighbor to Israel. Dont forget Egypt attacked Israel and got there buts kicked, it was a great attack had Israel fooled then Syria blew it and Egypt was forced to attack beyond their capablities. Egypt is not crazy to loose all the funding they recieve.

Some of the members of their Government were looking for excuse, and they found it.
A couple of years ago some Egyptians actually talked about suing Israel for all the gold Jews took out of Egypt when Moses led them to the land of Israel. That didn't fly, cause someone actually explained that that event took place over 3000 years ago, and it would be hard to prove anything now.
So, now there is a perfect excuse. No one is going to look at any evidence, why? Who cares! It is a lot easier to simply point their dirty fingers and accuse, accuse, accuse...
Israel shouldn't have given the Sinai desert back to Egypt, that was a mistake.

I am always amused by the Naysayers "No never happened"
And then I remember the USS Liberty.

Egypt has problems of their own,internally, do not believe they will proceed with this finding.
