Zionist regime is Egypt’s no. 1 enemy

The lower house of the Egyptian parliament has unanimously approved a text declaring that Zionist regime is the number one enemy of Egypt and calling for the expulsion of the regime ambassador and a halt to gas exports to occupied lands of palestine.

According to Press TV, on Monday, Egyptian MPs voted by a show of hands on the text of a report, which was compiled by the Arab Affairs Committee of the People's Assembly (lower house of parliament).

The report declared "Revolutionary Egypt will never be a friend, partner or ally of the Zionist entity, which we consider to be the number one enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation," adding "It will deal with that entity as an enemy, and the Egyptian government is hereby called upon to review all its relations and accords with that enemy."

In 1979, Egypt became the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Zionist regime, but was compelled to agree to supply gas to occupied lands of Palestine as one of the main economic conditions of the US-sponsored peace deal.

According to the results of an opinion poll conducted by Synovate for Press TV and published on October 3, 2011, an overwhelming majority of Egyptians oppose the terms of the country's gas deal with Zionist regime.
