It seems that the Egyptian protesters, who threw out former dictator Hosni Mubarak out of his presidential palace in Cairo on February 11, have now pushed the reset button in Egypt’s relations with Israel.

After Turkey suspended its military ties and downgraded diplomatic relations with the Zionist regime, Tel Aviv is now on the brink of losing one more friend in the Middle East -- Egypt.

Turkey’s suspension of military ties with Israel and expulsion of its ambassador came as a surprise to some Western states, especially to the United States. For sometimes, Washington has been trying its best to mend the strained relations between Israel and Turkey.

But Israel refused to apologize to Ankara over the massacre of nine Turkish activists, who were killed by the Israeli commandoes in the Mediterranean on May 31, 2010 when the international peace activists made an effort to break Gaza’s blockade imposed by the Zionist regime. 

Tel Aviv is now set to pay a heavy price for its arrogance and could face international isolation. 

According to the Washington Post, the White House had made many efforts to convince Tel Aviv that attacking the peace activists aboard the Mavi Marmara, the lead ship of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, and killing nine of them was an unjustifiable and indefensible action by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). However, Israel never paid any attention to the calls of Washington and insisted that what the IDF commandos had committed was an act of self-defense. 

Anyhow, at this juncture when Tel Aviv is facing a specter of losing the support of Turkey, which was its key strategic ally in the Middle East, the seizure of Israeli embassy by Egyptian revolutionaries in Cairo presents a nightmarish scenario for the Zionist regime.

Since the beginning of Egyptian pro-democracy protests in January 2011, one of the main slogans of the revolutionaries was the termination of Egypt’s diplomatic ties with Israel and the expulsion of Israeli diplomats from Cairo. The anti-regime protesters, who flooded the streets of Egyptian cities earlier this year, now regularly hold demonstrations in Cairo to put pressure on the ruling military junta so that it will not spoil their revolution.

Not only the demonstrators are demanding to cease country’s partnership with Tel Aviv but they also want Cairo to revoke the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.

It could be argued that the Egyptian revolution, which put an end to a three-decade rule of the Middle East’s worst despot, in its essence is an anti-Israeli, anti-American but pro-Islamic and pro-Palestinian movement.

With the fall of Mubarak, Israel is facing worst crisis with Egypt since 1979. The Western media is rightfully concerned about the Zionist regime’s security in the region -- in other words the very existence of Israel as a Jewish entity is under threat among a democratic tsunami taking place in the Middle East.

According to the media reports, 86 Israeli embassy staff members and members of their families fled Egypt after thousands of Egyptian protesters seized the Israeli embassy in Cairo and burnt down the Zionist flag.

Analysts say that Israel is facing a multilateral crisis in the region and its security is being seriously jeopardized. A “Mail & Guardian” report noted recently that the recent attack by the Egyptian protesters on the Israeli embassy in Cairo “was the latest diplomatic storm to engulf the Jewish state, whose relations with another ally, Turkey, have worsened over the past nine days. Israel is also facing a diplomatic tsunami at the UN later this month when a majority of countries are expected to back recognition of a Palestinian state.”

According to Egypt’s deputy health minister, three people died and hundreds were injured during the clashes between the protesters and security persons, who were trying to protect the under-attack Israeli embassy officials in Cairo.

Some commentators have likened the seizure of Israeli embassy by the Egyptian youth to the Iranian students’ seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.

The U.S. embassy in Tehran has been known as a “Den of Espionage” in which underground operations were carried out to destabilize the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Once the Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, the founder of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Khomeini, lauded their action as a great breakthrough and appreciated their performance.

The Egyptians, who destroyed the security wall around the Israeli embassy in Cairo and broke into the premises in an effort to terminate their country’s relations with Israel, have added a new chapter in the book being written in the Middle East on the indigenous people’s struggle against the outside arrogant powers, colonizers and imperialists.
