Egyptian rioters who stormed the Israeli Embassy in Cairo 10 days ago were paid off by a wealthy tycoon, Egypt’s state-run Al-Ahram newspaper reported Sunday.
Quoting a “judicial source,” the daily reported that last Thursday, a day before the incident, protesters were taken by “luxury tourist buses” to a lavish dinner where they were encouraged to take revenge against Israel “for our children killed on the border.”
Each participant was reportedly given an envelope with between 5,000-11,000 Egyptian pounds (NIS 3,000-6,500), and instructed to gather at 5 the following afternoon “in various locations such as the zoo and the field of Cairo University to go to the embassy and create chaos.”
Hundreds of Egyptians stormed the building housing Israel’s mission in Cairo on September 9, throwing embassy documents and its national flag from windows. Read the rest on: The Jerusalem Post
