Egyptian parliament demands expulsion of Israeli ambassador, stopping natural gas exports

The Egyptian parliament, whose largest party is the Muslim Brotherhood, and whose second largest party is an even more radical Muslim party, has demanded the expulsion of Israel's ambassador to Egypt, the recalling of Egypt's ambassador to Israel, and a cessation of natural gas exports to Israel (which aren't flowing right now anyway because the pipeline was blown up again last week) (Hat Tip: MFS - The Other News).
In an evening session Monday, the People’s Assembly demanded the deportation of the Israeli ambassador, Yaakov Amitai, and the withdrawal of the Egyptian ambassador from Tel Aviv.

The assembly voted unanimously on a statement prepared by the Committee on Arab Affairs, which also called for stopping gas exports to Israel in protest against the brutal attacks committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, considering it a flagrant violation of human rights.

Assembly speaker Saad al-Katatny asked a special parliamentary committee to follow up the implementation of the demands with the government.

The statement said, “Egypt after the revolution will never be a friend of the Zionist entity, the first enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation,” and demanded that the Egyptian government review all its relations and agreements with that “enemy.”

It also called for activating the Arab boycott of the “Zionist entity” and the international companies that deal with it, considering such boycott strong support of the “choice of resistance,” the strategic option for the liberation of the occupied territories.
Aren't you glad that Hussein Obama cut loose that evil Hosni Mubarak who managed to keep the peace for 30 years?
