Court order to annul Egyptian citizenship to Israeli marriages

Judge Mohamed Husseiny maintained that each case will be individually analyzed and investigated and personal stressing that freedoms and security will be considered

The decree was somewhat unpredicted since Egypt has boasted strong diplomatic and economic ties with Israel after making peace 30 years ago

Activist Negad Borai described the decision as hypocritical stressing that while the government continues to have a relationship with Israel, allowing natural gas exports and tourism, and coordinating with Israel on regulating crossing of the Rafah border, it punishes the people for having relationships with Israelis
