Hee! Well, that was my way of saying they either made that up or I'm embarrassingly clueless. But let's say it this way, Sharon became Defense Minister in August 1981, so it must be after. Following the 1979 peace agreement, Israel withdrew in stages from the Sinai, ending in April 1982. In June 1982, the Lebanon War started, and then I really don't see why Sharon would threaten Egypt with anything. But I don't see why he'd risk the peace agreement before that either.
