Egypt hates the State of Israel and its citizens, and this is the reason for the latest accusations from Cairo charging Israelis with spying.
This is how an Israeli who spent eight years in Egyptian prisons after being accused of spying for Israel responded to the news that the Egyptian government wants to try three Israelis on espionage charges.
"It was obvious to me that the moment Cairo finds a window of opportunity to do so they will frame more Israelis," said Azzam Azzam, an Israeli Druze.
"The story is a bluff."
Meanwhile Israel's Interior Ministry said efforts to get Israeli citizens extradited from Canada or Turkey to Egypt "could complicate matters for us."
