Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Monday slammed Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah for calling for mass demonstrations in Egypt to force the government to open the country’s border with Gaza Strip. "Someone yesterday called on the Egyptian people to take to the streets and create an atmosphere of anarchy. In other words, they want an atmosphere of anarchy similar to the one they created in their own country," Abul Gheit told a press conference in Turkey.
"This person also called on the Egyptian armed forces, but he is not aware of the situation," Egypt's top diplomat said after talks with his Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan. "If you do not know, let me tell you that the Egyptian armed forces are tasked with defending Egypt. If need be, they will also protect Egypt against people like you," he added.
The Egyptian minister also underlined that the Rafah crossing point between Egypt and Gaza was open for dispatching humanitarian supplies and receiving wounded Palestinians.
In a televised address on Sunday, Nasrallah called on Egyptians to take to the streets ‘in millions’ to force the government to open the Rafah crossing to Gaza Strip, arguing that security forces could not take actions against such a large turnout.
However, it seems that the Egyptian authorities took Nasrallah's comments very seriously. It is reported that the Egyptian interior ministry declared a maximum state of emergency at its Central Security apparatus, canceling indefinitely all leaves for officers and soldiers.

“If you do not know, let me tell you that the Egyptian armed forces are tasked with defending Egypt. If need be, they will also protect Egypt against people like you,”
Uhhh, did the Egyptian Foreign Minister just threaten Hasran Nasrallah?
Wo’ooowwww.
LOL
What’s funny is that NONE of the Arab countries want these so called Palestinians. From Jordan to Egypt, or even Iraq and Syria, they will all talk big about the Israeli’s and what they should do, but none of them want these people in their country either.
I value the day when I hear that Nazrallah’s head is vaporized in a large explosion.
“If you do not know, let me tell you that the Egyptian armed forces are tasked with defending Egypt. If need be, they will also protect Egypt against people like you,”
Bears repeating....Wow!
Once Sadam was ousted, one of the first things the Iraqi folks did was give the Pali’s the boot.
Happy thought! I am sure that would have happened if Israel knew when and where he was that did not involve thousands of spectators.
Yeah, that's bound to win support from the Egyptian government. Nobody wants these cockroaches in their country.
It appears that Moose limbs the world over are praying to their moon goddess hoping Iran will soon nuke Israel and eliminate the Joos and the parasitic ‘Palestinians’.
Maybe there's hope. Osama Bin Laden, Hamas, and Ahmadinejad are like Nasrallah, and perhaps Egypt will make the connection.
Yeah, always thought that funny as well. Here is this vast Arab sea surrounding Israel and none of them will give an inch of land to support their Arab brothers.
The Palastinians are nothing more than a pawn in this geopolitical game.
Just like a bunch of inebriated teenagers with a gross of bottle rockets. Whew hew.....let's see how far we can shoot’em.....whew hew.
Militias like 7izbullah are more popular with the people than Arab armies.
