I'm not so sure...

The peace deal lasted 30 years, largely because the Egyptian military didn't have any reason to break it. It's largely secular, and to incite unrest or ignore radicalism means they loose their money for bread and milk.

Unless the power shifted dramatically to the right, which isn't likely to happen to quickly, why would the military have any motive to not continue to cooperate?

It's also possible that this event will actually move parts of the Muslim Brotherhood towards the middle as they try to gain legitimacy as a viable political entity by distancing themselves from the more fundamental movements they actually helped spawn.
