Anger Over Israeli Excavations Under Egyptian School

DPA – According to Al-Quds, the Palestinian daily newspaper – Egyptian parliamentarians expressed anger over an Israeli mission currently excavating under the Abu Atwa Secondary School for Girls in the Suez Canal in the city of al-Ismailia, with the stated aim of locating bodies of Israeli soldiers killed during past conflicts with Egypt.

According to the independent daily newspaper Al-Masri, the Israeli mission is currently digging and excavating in the yard of the Abu Atwa commercial School for Girls. The Egyptian Parliament members see the operation as a violation of Egyptian sovereignty. They urged President Hosni Mubarak to disallow it, unless the Israeli government reciprocates by allowing Egyptian missions to search for slain Egyptian soldiers buried in mass graves in Israel during the 1967 war.

MP Salah el-Sayegh said that the Egyptian security services were unjustifiably keeping the Israeli excavation project under wraps. “The Egyptian government must be held to account for allowing this,” said MP Sabri Khalaf, demanding that Israel provide maps of mass graves in Israel and the Sinai Peninsula and calling on the government to conduct its own searches for slain Egyptian soldiers.
