Conditioning United States-Egypt Military Exercises Act of 2012 - Prohibits FY2013 funds from being used for U.S. participation in joint military exercises with Egypt if, during FY2013, Egypt abrogates, terminates, or withdraws from the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. Authorizes the President to waive such limitation if the President certifies to Congress that the waiver is in U.S. national security interests.
Blocks the U.S. military from spending 2013 funds on joint exercises with Egypt if Egypt ends or withdraws from the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. The President can override this ban if he certifies it's necessary for U.S. national security.
This ties U.S.-Egypt military cooperation to the survival of the Egypt-Israel treaty, making the treaty's preservation a condition of military aid and joint operations. It signals Congress wants to use defense spending to enforce the treaty's stability, though the presidential waiver allows flexibility in national security emergencies.
