Diplomatic tensions have arised between Israel and Egypt due to a harsh statement made recently by Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni. In a conference that took place in the Egyptian Parliament last week, the minister said that he “would burn Israeli books himself if found in Egyptian libraries.”
Israeli Ambassador to Cairo Shalom Cohen defined this statement in a classified report that he submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem as “harsh and especially blunt, in a way which makes it impossible for Israel and for the international community to continue a regular agenda with Egypt.”
Yedioth Ahronoth was informed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received and accepted the Israeli ambassador’s suggestion to present a severe protest to the Egyptian government. Simultaneously, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs passed on a severe protest to the Egyptian ambassador in Israel.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is scheduled to leave for Sharm al-Sheikh in order to participate in a summit with US President George W. Bush, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Jordan's King Abdullah and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. She is likely to raise the issue in her discussions with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
The anger in Israel over Hosni’s statement is especially emphasized due to the fact that the Hosni is Egypt’s candidate for the UNESCO position, as the United Nations’ education, science and cultural organization secretary-general, and he has good chances of being chosen.
Israel is weighing the option of bringing the case to the attention of the international community and thus harming his chances of receiving the position.
Hosni is considered one of the strongest opposition leaders in the Egyptian government to stand against normalization with Israel. In the past, he accused Israel of trying to steal Egyptian culture, and he adamantly opposes any cooperation with Israel.
Moreover, he opposed an initiative presented by the American-Jewish Committee to establish a museum of Jewish antiquity and culture in Cairo.

He'd fit right in.
Such love from a country whose culture is rooted in Joseph and his descendants.
“The anger in Israel over Hosni’s statement is especially emphasized due to the fact that the Hosni is Egypt’s candidate for the UNESCO position, as the United Nations’ education, science and cultural organization secretary-general, and he has good chances of being chosen.”
Can you blame the guy for trying to enhance his chances of landing this position by publicly bashing Israel? That will automatically drum up UN support for him.
These illiterate jihadist morons should try reading books instead of burning them.
Compare the number of Israeli thinkers, scientists, teachers, movers and shakers in the history of the world, against whatever Egypt his produced, particularly in the last two thousand years, and you can easily see which side of the border is full of numbskulls!
Egypt ought to be begging Israel for an education, and instead they’re burning books. Stupid is as stupid does.
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]
----------------------------
And we'll supply Egypt the funds to do it. Bet he doesn't burn his cellphone or laptop.
He’d burn Isreali books on agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, dairy farming, electronics repair, computer operations, ...you know, the things that make a modern society...well, modern, and functional.
However, a bulls##t book by a perverted goat-raping, self-styled “prophet” who worships Satan is A-Ok.

Perhaps Israel, in a similar action, should burn every copy ofMein Quran they can find..
This Egyptian must have a poster of the Nazi Grand Mufti on his wall.
I would burn Egyptian books myself...if there were any.
You must not have read the latest Egyptian best-seller, you know........ ummm.........er...........what’s it called again?.........

Well, Egypt did produce quite a few books, when papyrus was the writing material.
I guess it won’t be safe to bring the ultimate Israeli book — the Bible — if I ever visit Egypt again.
The Egyptian “culture minister” can kindly go sit on an air hose and turn it on full blast.
LOL!
Oh, to have that library intact. It’s destruction deprived us of a wealth of information.
Thanks FN.
This is more madness from the warped demented jihadist-Nazi world view.
ROFLMAO.
:) I could have said some other things I wanted him to do, but I’d probably have been banned if I did!
That is only because Egyptians have no books of their own to burn.
There’s a gov’t ban on crayons.
