Egyptian MP who met Israeli envoy refused entry to parliament after ouster
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVideo footage captures security guards refusing entry to Egyptian lawmaker Tawfiq Okasha being refused entry to parliament after his colleagues voted to to ban him for meeting with the Israeli ambassador to Egypt last week.
In a video released by AlMasry AlYoum, Okasha is seen walking through the halls of the parliament surrounded by aides and press. As he reaches the plenum a security guard signals to him that he is not allowed to enter and the door is closed in his face.
Voting in favor to ban Okasha were 403 parliamentarians, totaling more than two-thirds of the house.
