Egypt decides to withdraw ambassador from Israel


AP

"CAIRO (AP) — The Egyptian Cabinet says it has decided to withdraw its ambassador from Israel over the deaths of Egyptian security forces in fighting after an ambush targeting Israelis near the border between the two countries.

The Cabinet statement issued early Saturday says the ambassador will be withdrawn until Israel investigates the shooting deaths[How pathetic! This is even more pathetic than Erdogan asking for an Israeli apology for killing 9 Turks!] of five Egyptian security forces.

The decision comes after Egypt's official news agency blamed the Israelis for shooting and killing the five while chasing militants who killed eight Israelis in Thursday's ambush across the border in southern Israel.

The Israeli military promised to investigate [And of course it will vindicate the killing of the Egyptians just as it justified the killing of the Turks. The Egyptian ambassador will return to Tel Aviv after this Kabuki theater by Tantawi and his "supremes."


Update:


As it turns out, the Egyptian ambassador never left Tel Aviv and he will not be leaving! The lie of the Egyptian government was exposed when Israel said it never received a request that Egypt wants to withdraw the ambassador. So, Tantawi and his "supremes" were caught lying to the Egyptian people and now are in damage control mode.]....."
