[ 28/04/2011 - 08:46 AM ] CAIRO, (PIC)-- Dozens of Egyptian citizens demonstrated in front of the Israeli embassy in Cairo on Wednesday demanding an end to their country's relations with Israel and to exporting gas to it.
The rally was organized only hours after unknown persons blasted the pipeline in El-Arish that carries Egyptian gas to Israel and Jordan for the second time in three months.
The demonstrators chanted the people want an end to normalization with and an end to natural gas exports to Israel.
The leftist activist and a blogger, Husam al-Hamalawi, said that the rally was in response to Israeli president Shimon Peres's call on the Egyptian youth to normalize relations with Israel after praising their revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak's regime.
He said that if the Egyptian government did not cut gas exports the people would do it.
The explosion occurred two weeks after the Egyptian authorities decided to re-consider all previous gas deals including that with Israel due to growing complaints that the deals sold Egyptian gas at low prices.
