In his conversation with ‘Sputnik,’ he added that the countries where acts of aggression have been carried out by some paid elements did not take legal action against those individuals who committed crimes in violation of the law, which is a shortcoming on the part of these countries.
He explained that if the negligence by countries continues, as happened in the Netherlands, Egypt may remove security from in front of the embassies of countries that allow assaults on its premises, applying the principle of reciprocity.
He pointed out that some European countries, which are the primary supporters of Israel, have allowed the closure of embassies by certain individuals, in clear violation of the laws regulating the work of embassies, adding another layer of negligence by not legally pursuing these individuals and arresting them.
Rakha believes that some security agencies wanted to ease the pressure on Israel, which has recently been isolated under the influence of public opinion, so they pushed anti-Egypt elements in a desperate attempt to make baseless accusations. These elements have not been able to protest in front of Israeli embassies.
A leaked video of Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty previously sparked widespread interaction on social media due to its content, which aligned with television statements made by the minister regarding the protection of Egyptian embassies abroad.
After Abdel Aty accused some countries of failing to protect and announced the application of the principle of reciprocity with the embassies of those countries in Cairo, the Egyptian Foreign Minister appeared in a leaked video, whose authenticity could not be verified, speaking to the Egyptian ambassador in the Netherlands and criticizing his handling of the assaults on the Egyptian embassy there.
In the video attributed to him, Abdel Aty stated that all Egyptian diplomatic missions must detain any assailant on their premises and hand them over to the police of the hosting country, noting that ‘the aim is to publish some images portraying Egypt as a helpless, violated state, which is unacceptable.’
