Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was overthrown due to his “objection to the Israeli war against Gaza,” the deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Zaki Bani Arshid, told Al-Monitor in an exclusive interview.
Morsi’s ouster had nothing to do with his internal performance, the Brotherhood leader contended, adding that Jordan’s King Abdullah II’s visit to Egypt after the coup went “contrary to the will of the Jordanian people.”
