The Muslim Brotherhood seems to be trying to get Egypt to declare war on Israel: Gaza attack threat to Egypt national security: Muslim Brotherhood.

CAIRO (AFP) - Egypt’s opposition Muslim Brotherhood said that any aggression on the Gaza strip would be “a threat to Egyptian national security,” and called on Egypt to prevent such an attack.

“Any aggression on the Gaza Strip would constitute a threat to Egyptian national security and Egypt must therefore take all necessary measures to prevent an attack,” Mohammed Mehdi Akef, the group’s supreme guide, said in a statement.

Akef’s comments come as thousands of Israeli troops were massed on the Gaza border poised for a possible offensive over the kidnapping of a teenage soldier. On June 25, Palestinian gunmen attacked an Israeli checkpoint on the Gaza border, killing two Israeli soldiers and abducting a third.

“The Muslim Brotherhood calls on the Arab and Islamic people and civil society organizations and the peoples of the world to declare their rejection to any Zionist attempt to attack Gaza,” said Akef, declaring that Friday will be a “day for solidarity with the Palestinian people and to show our anger over Zionist aggression.”
