Media reports spoke of Egyptian anger at the practices of the occupation government. Tel Aviv said that it briefed Cairo on the assassination after its execution.
Source predicted that the Egyptian position will suffer more confusion this time. Egyptian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli raids on Gaza and condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by a group of settlers on Tuesday morning. The Israeli escalation undermines efforts to achieve calm and reduce tension within the framework of the understandings reached at the Sharm el-Sheikh and Aqaba meetings.
