Israel shuts embassy in Cairo

Since the announcement that Hosni Mubarak has stepped down, people have been celebrating across the world. But one group isn't joining the party: Israel's representatives in Cairo.

The embassy here has been shut down indefinitely, and the Israeli flag was removed from the building's roof.

Israel's diplomats and their families have allegedly been evacuated due to security concerns.

Israel has long feared that the fall of the Mubarak could lead to a renunciation of their peace accord with Egypt. The Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces announced that they will support all current treaties.

Following the 6 Day War and years of negotiations, the two sides signed a peace pact in 1981, but the price has been Egypt's role as the leader of the Arab World.

Not good. I hear some Egyptian cleric is calling for a new examination of the Camp David accords.

This is far from over.

Yes, I think things are very bad. Yet when I go out on the street here in my little tourist town, it looks to me like the entire world is oblivious.

But at some point, they’ll have to wake up.

This no doubt will be portrayed by the muzzie in chief and the anti-Isreals at the state dept and national press as an act of aggression by the jews against the peaceful Egyptians

Then Annie, he’s playing it fast and loose right now.

Gotta trust he knows what he’s doing but, “hang on, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”

Pray for our friends in Israel.

His ways are higher than ours. I’m praying all the time for His will to be done.
