Russia condemns Israeli embassy attack

Ministry said yester- day.

Israel is now facing its worst crisis with Egypt in 30 years after a violent mob stormed of its embassy in Cairo on Friday.
The clashes outside the embassy followed a mass protest in Tahrir Square, the centre of February’s revolution, after Friday prayers.

The crowd broke away to march to the Israeli embassy three weeks ago after five Egyptian security officers were killed by Israeli forces in the aftermath of a militant attack on the Egypt-Israel border which left eight Israelis dead.

The siege of the embassy ended only after intervention from the White House following phone calls between the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and United States President Barack Obama. – AFP.
