As tensions flare between Turkey and Israel the Muslim Brotherhood is seeking to capitalize on the situation, calling to expel Israel’s ambassador from Jordan and Egypt. The Israeli Embassy in Cairo was recently the scene of violent anti-Israel protests, resulting in the removal of the Israeli flag, which was replaced by the Egyptian flag.

Work has begun towards building a wall around that complex to prevent a reoccurrence of such an act.

Muslim Brotherhood officials in Jordan praise Turkey’s actions, to cut military and trade ties with Israel, adding the move should serve as an example for other Arab nations. They add there are many reasons to justify nullifying agreements between Jordan and Israel, citing the damage caused to Jordan by the Zionists and the need to act.
