Israel Demands that Cairo Reinstate Its Flags at Diplomatic Institutions
(Israel Hayom) Shlomo Cesana, Lilach Shoval and Daniel Siryoti The Foreign Ministry on Wednesday demanded that Egypt once again fly the Israeli flag over the ambassador's residence in Cairo, one day after Egyptian security forces guarding the building complied with the demands of hundreds of demonstrators who urged it be taken down. Demonstrators on Tuesday applauded as the blue-and-white flag was removed from the home of Ambassador Yitzhak Levanon and demanded that Egypt scrap the decades-long peace deal with Israel. The Egyptian military also closed the main street leading to the residence, and dozens of police were stationed on surrounding roads for fear that the demonstrators would attempt to break in.
