PM backtracks on 2011 ‘threat’ of Cairo raid
The Prime Minister’s Office clarifies that in 2011, Israel planned a “coordinated, and not unilateral” operation to retrieve its staff from the Cairo embassy, rather than threatening a raid, as Netanyahu earlier Tuesday said.
“We thank the Egyptian military and are happy that it dealt with the crisis responsibly and solved the problem,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office says. “Prime Minister Netanyahu very much appreciates the relations with Egypt and the upholding of the peace agreement which is an important element in the region’s stability.”
