Brotherhood deputies pursuing Zionists representatives in Egypt Ikhwanonline.com April 24, 2004 Written by - Ahmed Subaie Deputies of the parliamentary bloc in the Egyptian People's Assembly have begun to organize a parliamentary and diplomatic campaign against the Zionist embassy, and its enters and staff in Egypt; where Deputy "Mustafa Mohamed Mustafa" posed a question to the Egyptian Foreign Minister on Thursday, 22 April, stressing that the Zionist centers in Egypt are spy centers working under cultural and diplomatic slogans. He stressed that the Zionist entity has four centers led by the Zionist embassy in Giza, then consulates; then one in Alexandria and the second in Cairo, then cultural institutions, most notably the Zionist academic center in Cairo. The Deputy said - in his question to the Minister of Foreign Affairs -: These places are considered centers of espionage and catching vulnerable Egyptians; whether young men who do not find opportunities to work or intellectuals with deviant thoughts, which requires the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take a position quickly, especially since all who work in these centers especially the Embassy are Mossad men, their first and primary goal is to sabotage Egyptian youth. The Deputy stressed that turmoil taking place in the Egyptian street make it a duty of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry to inform the competent authorities in the Zionist embassy that they are persona non grata in Egypt, and that their positions are detrimental to the public interest. The Deputy said: The Zionist entity uses consulates, which began their work in 1980 in Cairo and Alexandria, as spy networks while raising the banner of culture, especially in Cairo, where it is led now by a Zionist security expert and spy. His core mission to help the diplomatic activities of his country's embassy in further penetration the Egyptian political, commercial and cultural community. 4

Ahmed Yassin Street On the other hand "Azab Mustafa" - Brotherhood Deputy for the Giza governorate, is whose scope is located Zionist embassy presented a a proposal to parliament on Wednesday 21 April to name the street where it is located Zionist embassy on behalf of the martyr Sheikh "Ahmed Yassin", and naming the building which is the headquarters of Embassy as martyr Dr. "Abdul Aziz al-rantisi," and the same thing with the Zionist consulate building n Alexandria. Azab said, a number of members of parliament have already taken similar steps to change the name of the street where the Zionist embassy is located as "Mohammed al-dura," noting that the local council in the Giza Governorate had greed to the proposal, but it was halted without stated reason, This is what pushed him to revive the project; but with the names of the martyrs "Ahmed Yassin" and "Abdul Aziz al-rantisi." In the same context Deputy Dr "Akram al Shair" - member of the Muslim Brotherhood bloc stressed in exclusive statements to Ikhwan Online that he would submit in the coming days a legal memorandum to the Chairman of the Assembly for submission to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to prevent the entry of any Zionist to Egyptian territory, and for obtaining a government decree to consider the Zionist Ambassador and all the members of the Zionist embassy personae non grata. He and said: extensive contacts are taking place with the rest of the Assembly for there to be a binding collective note to the Foreign Minister. For his part, Dr. "Mohamed Morsi" head of the Brotherhood bloc in the Egyptian parliament stressed that escalating events oblige the Egyptian parliament to have a role, pointing out that the situation in Palestine and Iraq has reached the serious stage, affecting the Egyptian role regionally and globally, which makes the organization of several sessions to discuss developments in the region extremely important, explaining that the aim of this proposal is to form one public opinion at home to be supportive of the decision-makers, in addition to the role parliamentary being very important because it represents political and popular support for resistance fighters, as well as the fact that he objective of these sessions is to issue specific decrees and not recommendations whose implementation is left to the government. Dr. Morsi proposed the formation of a parliamentary committee of the chairmen of the committees for Arab affairs, foreign external relations, defense and national security and the heads of parliamentary bodies and influential blocs the Assembly and independents to draft a popular politician plan to restructure Egyptian-American relations, and set a timetable for the disposal of the alleged peace agreement signed with the Zionist entity.

Brotherhood Deputies demand the freezing of relations with the Zionists Ikhwanonline.com November 21, 2004 Deputies of the parliamentary bloc of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt launched a sharp attack on the peace agreement signed between Egypt and the Zionist entity, demanding Egyptian officials take appropriate actions to review this agreement which has witnessed penetrations and transgressions by the Zionist side for 27 years. The Brotherhood deputies objected to the relevant ministers not attending to discuss the killing of three Egyptian soldiers at the hands of the Zionists, stressing that there is rage which presses on the masses of people in Egypt is the result of a lack of decisive response to the death of these soldiers. Dr. Mohamed Morsi - Chairman of the parliamentary bloc of Muslim Brotherhood deputies in the People Assembly - in the parliamentary session, which was held this morning Sunday, 21/11/2004 AD to discuss the urgent communiqués provided by the Deputies on the issue of killing the soldiers, said: Egypt is a major state and has dignity which everyone must come together to protect, and the deliberate killing of three soldiers confirms that the dignity of Egyptians have been violated as it has been violated by the alleged peace treaty with the Zionist entity for 27 years. He explained that everyone respects the Egyptian constitution, and from this starting point, we respect Article II thereof, which stipulates that Islamic Sharia is the basis for legislation, and that Islam is the official religion of the state, and it is confirmed by the Quran that Jews are the most hostile of men to Muslims. The Almighty says: Certainly you will find the most hostile to those who believe are the Jews and those who are polytheists. [Quran 5: 82] The verse confirms that Jews are the most hostile enemies of the Muslims, as the Almighty says and prepare for them all you can of power, including steeds [Quran 8: 60], [Note: The beginning of the verse is on the Brotherhood logo] a verse which urges preparation for this enemy with all our energy to prepare us to confront him at any time; because Zionists are traitors to every covenant and convention. 6

As the Almighty says If they incline to peace incline to them [Quran 6: 61], which shows that Islam is a religion of peace, and we are a people who love peace and respect it, but enemies do not respect it as evidenced by recurring incidents by them, despite the unfortunate peace agreement. However, the government did not adopt any response to these attacks, which began with the demolishing of houses in Rafah on the border with occupied Palestine, and the kidnapping of Egyptian from inside the Palestinian territories and their prosecution by this usurper entity, in addition to espionage cases which confirm that there is no peace with the descendants of apes and pigs, and finally this murder to the three soldiers they were performing the duty of the homeland, then the apology of Zionist government is enough for us as if these men s blood has no value. Dr. Morsi added that if this incident was message from the Zionist enemy to Egypt and the Egyptians, who rejected the Zionist occupation of Palestine, it is a rejected message is and must be responded to strongly, calling the Egyptian Foreign Ministry to declaration a cessation of normalization with the Zionist enemy and expel their ambassador from Egypt as the least response to this criminal aggression. Dr. Morsi turned to the Sharm el-sheikh conference on Iraq, saying it is a disaster for the Arab and Islamic nation, and is a formal recognition of the American occupation, declaring the Muslim Brotherhood's rejection of this conference and demanding that the Government of Egypt and the Arab countries not sign what results from this suspicious outcome. In his speech the engineer Hazin condemned the incident and described it as the usual criminality by the Zionist enemy, which does not respect any peace. Hazin criticized the nonattendance by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Defense and the Interior to receive so the deputies could convey their views to the political leadership, which essentially should take positions rejecting this Zionist deception, pointing out that the best response to this Zionist aggression to maintain the dignity of Egypt is to stop all forms of normalization with the Zionist enemy and expel their ambassador. The parliament has witnessed a heated debate between the Muslim Brotherhood deputies and the Presidency of the Assembly; where the presidency of the Assembly insisted that all requests for briefing the Deputies not be discussed, and that the statement signed by the heads of the committees of the Arab Affairs, Defense and National Security, and Foreign Relations was enough. Engineer Hazin described the statement as a statement of the heads of committees and not a statement of the Deputies of the Egyptian people who reject the continuing violations taking place. The Muslim Brotherhood deputies have presents urgent statements of urgency, and demanded the Egyptian Foreign Ministry to take a firm stand against these attacks, and not just to accept 7

an apology from the Israeli government, stating that the killing of Egyptian soldiers is flagrant aggression upon us, and requires appropriate action to respond to this Zionist arrogance provocative to the feelings of the Egyptian people, especially since it coincides with Zionist aggression and their occupation of Palestine, and the work of war machine backed by America with all means of support for the killing of innocent, heroic Palestinian people, standing in the trench of resistance to the occupier of their land, whose elderly, women and children are attacked. They added that the Zionist enemy continues to brag and cross all red lines; it deliberately killed three of our soldiers after kidnapping 6 of our students from within our borders several months ago. Their problem has not yet been solved! Arabic translation by the Investigative Project on Terrorism http://www.ikhwanonline.com/new/v3/article.aspx?artid=9449&secid=342 8

Dr. Morsi: The Brotherhood supports the Palestinian resistance against separation schemes Ikhwanonline.com June 22, 2007 Written by - Mohammed Abdel Moez Dr. Mohamed Morsi - Member of the Guidance Bureau of the Muslim Brotherhood -stressed that the Palestinian issue for the Brotherhood is pivotal and essential, and that the Brotherhood offered and still offers full support for the Palestinian resistance to liberate the Holy Land. Dr. Morsi said to Ikhwan Online: The support for Hamas is support for the Palestinian resistance project, adding that this support extends also to all the resistance factions, whether Al-Quds Brigades or al-aqsa Martyrs. He warned of the danger of a dangerous consensus now between the American administration and the Zionist entity and some Fatah leaders and a number of Arab regimes associated with the Palestinian issue, a consensus which aims to disrupt the resistance to the Zionist entity and give everything for nothing. Morsi wondered: What dragged this leadership for 15 years in its negotiations with the Zionist entity and under American auspices, whether in Oslo or the Wye River or the road map?!, And what did it do for Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, who documents confirm that he was assassinated in a despicable plot known far and wide. Morsi stressed that the Muslim Brotherhood rejects any kind of internal fighting among the Palestinian brothers, as it supports the resolutions of the Mecca meeting, and endorses and supports the decisions of the Council of Arab Foreign Ministers to form a committee to investigate the facts, and the adoption of the language of dialogue between the leaders of Fatah and Hamas. He expressed his astonishment and condemnation of the President of the Palestinian Authority and Fatah leaders accepting a meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and opening a new dialogue with him, although his hands are stained with the blood of the martyrs and children, 9

while these leaders refuse to meet with their brethren in the resistance. This represents a false image of reality that must be the case. He pointed out that such acts do not serve in any way except in favor of the Zionist enemy, and that the recent rapid decisions from Fatah leaders to serve free of charge the Zionist desire and plan to separate Gaza from the West Bank and thus blockade the Resistance and prevent them from carrying out their role and stop their impact on the Zionist occupiers of the land of Palestine who practice aggression against the Palestinian people, who killed their children and attacked their women, and killed his figures and leaders. Dr. Morsi concluded his comments by inviting everyone to consider the interests of the Palestinian people, and the need for everyone to know they should put each other ahead of the Zionists, and the extremist American administration which is always on the side of the Zionists and provide them with all kinds of material, political and military support.
