Israel seeks another Syria in Egypt

An Iranian lawmaker believes that the current developments in Egypt are actually parts of a scenario to present Islamist government as inefficient and the western-dependent political currents as savior.

Naser Sudani made the remarks in an interview with the Quds News Agency (QUDSNA).

The lawmaker said Islam was a priority for the Egyptian people in their 2011 revolution however the revolution was hijacked and a feeble, Islamist government came to power.

The lawmaker believed that the ousted president Muhammad Mursi committed three mistakes in his one-year government namely it put his total reliance on the Muslim Brotherhood from which it hails by distributing state posts among its members almost totally while it was not on the vanguard of the 2011 revolution.

"Mursi's second mistake was his relations with the Zionist regime and his failure to counter against anti-Islamic groups," member of the Iranian parliament said, adding that Mursi's stance concerning the Syrian conflict will be come down in history as a blot on the record of the Brotherhood party.

The lawmaker singled out Mursi's failure to attend to the ordinary people's living problems as his third mistake while he was embroiled with allegations of financial corruption among his team.

The lawmaker then touched on the Israeli intentions concerning the Egyptian development and said Israel wishes to see Egypt turning into a second Syria. "Zionists seek to turn any Muslim area into a ruin and pursue the goal through dividing Muslims in particular," he said, adding the Israeli authorities seek to impose a long war on the oppressed Egyptian people.

The lawmaker suggested that the delay of early elections for six months was a move to keep Egyptian people rioting in streets so that Egypt turns into ruin.

"Attacks on the offices of the political groups may be partly planned by Israeli stooges," he suggested.
