Egyptians Storming Israeli Embassy in Cairo
The crisis with Turkey seems to begin to produce effects that are contrary to Israel’s interests as violent forms of manifesting disapproval of the Jewish state occur in countries of the Middle East and north Africa. From street protests in Egypt to acid editorials in the Middle East media Israel is being criticized, prompting the king of Jordan to say that it is in a tougher situation than ever.
On Friday, a group of Egyptian people partially tore down the wall erected around the Israeli embassy and attempted to storm the building, for the second time this month. The Egyptians were able to remove the Israeli flag and throw it into the street, causing the bystanders to cheer.
According to Israeli reports, the crowds managed to enter the premises of the building but were unable to reach the exact place where the embassy was, though they reached the right floor.
Jerusalem called the incident “grave” and were unable to give an account on whether the Egyptian guards that were expected to guard the embassy fled the scene. No Israeli personnel was wounded by the clashes but up to 200 Egyptians were injured on the occasion.
The hatred toward Israel sparked in Egypt after five security troops were killed by the IDF in a border clash with some Palestinian terrorists. A Facebook group asked that the people gathered to “urinate on the wall,” and it was so that the scandal broke in Cairo.
The event coincides with the visit of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish Prime Minister, whose country was prejudiced by the Palmer report issued last week on the incident on board the vessel Mavi Marmara, that occurred on May 31, 2010, and had as a result the killing of 9 Turkish nationals.
The swift and steady reaction of the Turkish PM against Israel is most praised by the people in the Middle East and north Africa, who rushed to see him arrive in Cairo. He is expected to speak at the university, but he is also expected to weigh his words carefully so that the situation in Egypt may not escalate with regard to the feelings of the people toward Israel.
Saudi press criticizes Israel for the way it dealt with Turkey lashing out at the Israeli cabinet that it convinced the world that any measure taken against Israel is an anti-Semitic act or an act of terror committed by Arabs.
On that occasion, the Alriyadh newspaper criticized the aggressive policies of Israel even towards former allies, adding that Turkey rejected the “contempt that Israel showed toward it.”
Saudi daily Almadina also said that Israel is more isolated than ever, mentioning the conflict with Turkey, the protests in Cairo against it, and the insistence of Palestinian Authority to go to UN with their proposition for a state of their own.
In his turn, king Abdullah of Jordan said that Jordan and the Palestinian state are stronger than Israel is now, and that the Jewish state is the one that is scared.
On that occasion, the king reminded that his country was not an alternative country for Palestinians. He said that while Jordan supported the claims of Palestinians for a state of their own it does not consider acceptable that Jordan became the refuge for the Palestinians who are denied a state.
A similar manifestation of violent disapproval of Israel is expected to be expressed in Jordan on Thursday, when one million people are expected to march in the capital of the kingdom, and to storm the embassy of Israel.
The aim seems to take the flag of the Jewish state down of the building. The Jordanian protest seems motivated by the same scandal with the shooting of the Egyptian soldiers, which means that this scandal is just building up, or should one say, warming up.
The situation is simmering up, which prompted the Egyptian leaders to advise Israel that it would be better to pull their ambassador out. The advise was given before the protest on Friday.
