Egypt's Lower House Votes to Expel Israeli Ambassador

Egypt's lower house of parliament has voted to expel the Israeli ambassador. The move comes as Israel finds itself under assault by a rain of terror rockets from Gaza.

The vote also calls for the recall of Egypt's ambassador to Israel and the halting of gas exports to Israel. The text voted on also stated, "Egypt will never be the friend, partner or ally of the Zionist entity which we consider as the first enemy of Egypt and the Arab nation." And that the Egyptian government must "revise all its relations and agreements with that enemy."

The military council is still in charge of Egyptian, and they are unlikely to approve such a motion. But it is a sign of the time and even more proof that Islamic Jihad has taken over much of Egypt. It is unclear how long the peace will last, once the military gives up it's power to the parliament, as it is supposed to do, sometime this summer.
