Mursi's disgrace

"Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood official resigned in protest against a cordial letter sent by Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi to his Israeli counterpart, and urged Morsi to resign for his “treason” in sending it.   Ahmad Hamrawi, former secretary general of the lawyers’ association in Alexandria and a founder of Morsi’s Freedom and Justice party, left the Muslim Brotherhood following publication of the letter of credence sent by Morsi to his Israeli counterpart Shimon Peres on the occasion of the arrival of Egypt’s new ambassador to Israel, Atef Salem, on October 17.  “What Morsi said in his letter to the Zionist entity… is national and religious treason to millions of Egyptians,” wrote Hamrawi in a press statement Saturday, ending his 28-year membership in the Muslim Brotherhood."
