Israeli ambassador in Cairo, Yitzhak Levanon, was forced to leave Egypt a few days ago after the outbreak of demonstrations in front of the Israeli embassy. He will return to Cairo soon, and pointed out there is a high possibility the headquarters of the Embassy will change in light of the recent events. "I am assessing the situation in Egypt in preparation for my return but this does not mean we forgot what happened to us. Egypt changed and isn't what it was when it was ruled by the former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. I was horrified by what I saw last week when the Egyptian demonstrators tried to break the wall in front of the embassy. They then broke into the embassy building intending to kill us," Levanon commented in a TV interview on the Israeli Channel Ten. He warned Egyptians of the negative effects because of their hostility towards Israel. "I advise them to uphold the Camp David peace treaty between Egypt and Israel for the common good," he added. Levanon expressed gratitude to the U.S. Ambassador in Cairo, who intervened through contacts in Washington and the Egyptian administration, to save the Israeli embassy in Cairo staff from Egyptian protestors. The Israeli ambassador attacked the Egyptian January 25 Revolution, claiming it did not provide any positive outcome for Egypt. He added Israel must learn what happened to Egypt to understand the new prevailing conditions.
