Iran protest against Egypt-Israel cooperation causes envoy recall
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2008/12/iran-protest-against-egypt-israel.htmlEgypt pays a price for its "peace" with Israel even if it is a poor peace. Need we point out that a similar "spontaneous" demonstration in Iran in 1979 resulted in the US embassy hostage crisis? Of course, Egypt has every reason to take prudent precautions.

Egypt has recalled its diplomatic envoy from Tehran after a protest was held in front of its interest section, Iran's Fars news agency reported Wednesday.
Hundreds of Islamist students staged a gathering on Monday in front of the Egyptian embassy's interest section in Tehran in protest against Egypt's continued cooperation with political arch-foe Israel over the ongoing siege of the ruling Hamas group in the Gaza Strip.
Despite reassurances by Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hassan Ghashghavi that the diplomatic missions in Tehran were sufficiently secured, Cairo decided to recall its envoy from the Islamic state.
Local political analysts believe the move will further delay the normalization process toward bilateral diplomatic relations, which were severed following Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, Egypt's peace agreement with Israel and its granting of refuge to the Shah of Iran.
