Egyptian-Israeli gas deal

Of course, Zionist propagandists want you to believe that the cancellation of the Egyptian-Israeli gas deal was due to commercial reasons.  This was the line that was peddled in the Israeli press (and its echo chambers in the US media).  But Al-Arabiyyah TV (the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law) held a discussion panel on the subject and the guests (including the liberal MP, `Amr Hamzawi) all stated that the cancellation was political and that the newly elected parliament was furious about the deal and urged its cancellation.
