Zionist officials considered that ousting Mursi threatened the security and stability on the Palestinian-Egyptian borders, especially in Sinai.

Zionist state officials considered that ousting Mursi threatened the security and stability on the Palestinian-Egyptian borders, especially in Sinai.

They have also admitted that the growing instability in Egypt would make it harder for the Egyptians to maintain their control in Sinai. The officials said the main concern is that the vacuum there will be used to carry out attacks against the Zionist entity.

 
"The Zionist entity enjoyed good security cooperation with Egypt under Mursi," one official said.

As the Egyptian army ousted President Mohammad Mursi, the Zionist officials expressed their concerns about possible attacks against the Zionist entity launched from Egypt.

An Israeli official considered that ousting Mursi cannot "vanish the extremists."

"There might be an imminent political framework to settle the ruling system in Egypt, yet during the transitional period, we might see violent clashes," he added.

Former Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer remarked on Wednesday that what happened in Egypt would have an impact on the whole Middle East.

The Prime Minister's bureau has ordered the cabinet not to publically tackle what happened in Egypt.
