Egyptian Extremist Secretly Met Livini in US

Local Editor

A recent report revealed an April meeting in the United States between Nader Bakkar, a senior extremist from Egypt, and former "Israeli" Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

Reporting on Tuesday, The Middle East Eye said Bakkar, who was the deputy chairman of Egypt's extremist Salafist Nour Party, met Livni at Harvard University at the former's request.

It cited Egyptian paper Youm7 as reporting, "Nader Bakkar's meeting with Tzipi Livini lasted around 40 minutes, in which he talked about the strength of the Nour Party and its popularity."

Salafism is often equated with Wahhabism, the ideology of the Takfiri terror groups that kill people from other religions, accusing them of being "infidels."

In this regard, "Israel" has been supportive of the Takfiri terrorists fighting the Syrian government. In December 2015, Britain's Daily Mail said the "Israeli" entity saved the lives of over 2,000 Takfiri militants at the cost of about USD 13 million by treating them at its hospitals since 2013.

Relations between Egypt and the Zionist regime have been growing since President Abdul Fattah Sisi took power in the Arab country in 2014.

Egypt sent an ambassador to Tel Aviv in January. Earlier, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry traveled to the occupied territories and met with "Israeli" PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
