An Egyptian official source has attacked the Secretary General of Lebanese Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah due to his anti-Egypt statements. In a statement yesterday, the source said Nasrallah's declarations, which included criticism and excesses against Egypt, have again proved his clear collaboration with the Iranian regime.
Nasrallah's anti-Egypt statements can be understood only through the larger framework within which they have been issued. The dimensions of this framework have been uncovered over the previous period, when some Palestinian factions called on Egypt to break the peace treaty with Israel and engage in military confrontation again after decades of peace, the source said. The scheme adopted by some parties, either by calling for the opening of Rafah crossing before individuals and weapons or by supporting the so-called resistance, has been uncovered by Egypt since the very beginning, the source added. Therefore, it is impossible for Egypt to be deceived by a handful of silly adventurers who traffic innocent civilians' blood in favor of specific regional parties, the source added. He then said that these parties are tampering with these civilians' fates and are using them as fuel in their confrontation with major powers for the sake of issues that have nothing to do with the Palestinian Cause.
The source said Nasrallah's statements about the "forced" role of the Egyptian mediation between Israel and the Palestinians reveal the deep-seated bitterness of all collaborators. Talking about these collaborators, he said their anti-Egypt excesses during the Israeli aggression on Gaza have not succeeded in achieving their longing to replace Egypt's pivotal role in the Palestinian issue. Indeed, Egypt's role is backed and reinforced by history and geography. Using empty slogans from his hideout, Nasrallah still wants to give what he thinks is support for the Palestinians. In fact, Nasrallah has been asked not to take any role in this tragedy in order not to mess the calculations of the parties that move him, the source affirmed.
Nasrallah said there is a conflict between two trends in the region. This is true, as there is a conflict between two parties. One of them is addicted to playing with innocents' blood and lives to achieve calculations dictated from abroad, while the other party aims to achieve peace and stability and stop the bloodshed without abandoning the rights, as alleged by the heroes of the resistance, the source added. Egypt will continue its policy and will never pay attention to these abuses. It will continue supporting the Palestinian brothers and their just cause to preserve their lives and right to a better future, the source went on to say.
For his part, the Deputy Chairman of Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies Wahid Abdel Maguid described Nasrallah's speech and attack on Egypt as a way to destroy the Arab Nation.
"This speech, which has been repeated by Nasrallah, aggravates the Arab separation, consolidates differences and lengthens distances.
Instead of talking about closing up the Arab ranks, unity and a team work, Nasrallah used words destroying the Arab unity."
Nasrallah attacked Egypt due to his disagreement with the Egyptian regime, Abdel Maguid said, adding: "Egypt and Nasrallah have the right to disagree, but in a way causing no disputes and deep bitterness.
Abdel Maguid described Nasrallah as a person who can not judge the situation well, noting that it was clear that the picture is not complete for Nasrallah, as he can not understand the Egyptian policy and does not know what Egypt has been doing for the Palestinian Cause.
"Everyone knows that Egypt is not afraid of a confrontation with Israel and we think - and indeed expect – that this may happen at any moment, but politics requires tricks and actions that Nasrallah can not understand" Abdel Maguid added.
Political expert Amr Shubaki described Nasrallah as a contradictory person, as he calls on Egypt to take actions that he himself did not try to take. In fact, Nasrallah provided Gaza with nothing but empty slogans and irresponsible attacks on the Arab regimes, including Egypt.
Shubaki wondered why Nasrallah had not moved military to support Gaza, adding: "Of course he has political calculations like all Arab regimes. He has the right to do so, but as long as he does, he should keep silent and not attack Egypt because it is, at least, a moderate regime. "This does not mean that I am personally satisfied with how the Egyptian administration managed the Gaza crisis. On the contrary, I believe that Egypt has not provided our brothers in Gaza with what it could. However, Nasrallah should not talk as if he were carrying weapons against the Zionists."
