Far-right and racist Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has been official banned from every visiting Egypt.

After decades of wars after Israel provoked Egypt, the two nations recognize 30 years of peace this years with the 1979 Camp David accord. The border has been open and there is some degree of trade.

The two have also cooperated. Egypt unofficially supported Israel’s most recent full-scale assault on Gaza; an attack that killed over 900 Palestinian civilians of whom over 400 were children. And Israel’s Mossad recently helped Egyptian officials uncover a Hezbollah, the Lebanese militia-cum-party, cell.

But what has always been a cold peace may turn tenuous with the swearing in of a far-right Israeli government. Benyamin Netanyahu still refuses to even pay lip-service to a Palestinian state and his foreign minister is a bombast fascist who wants to stripe Arabs in Israel of citizenship, because he deems them disloyal.

Egypt is none too happy and the Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit has already stated that he would not shake the hand of Lieberman even the his counterpart had told Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak “to go to hell” after the president declined to visit Israel.

Lieberman responded to that first statement in an unusual calm manner by stating that he would be pleased to visit Egypt and added that Egypt is a significant nation. His last statement was no doubt in effort to make himself more palatable for the Egypt public by seeking to present himself as a friend of Egypt.

But the Egyptian public and even the government are having none of the empty rhetoric. The Egyptian minister has now stated that Lieberman will not be allowed to visit Egypt, period.

“His feet will not step on Egyptian soil as long as he maintains his positions,” Aboul Gheit told Russia Today TV.

He also attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, branding it “an extremist, hard-line government whose leader speaks of war and of rejecting every agreement.”

But he added that “the Egyptian foreign minister said his country would still work directly with the Israeli government, only not via its foreign ministry.”

How dare Egypt?! If Egypt keeps it up it might just be a new target for the Israel lobby.
