CAIRO — The women in Beheira governorate, west of Cairo, cheered following the announcement of the Egyptian judiciary’s ruling to cancel the annual celebration of the birth of the Jewish rabbi known as Abu Hasira, whose tomb is in the village of Damtu in Beheira governorate. Consequently, there was Israeli rage and resentment, and tensions between Cairo and Tel Aviv renewed over the rabbi's tomb, while the Israeli Foreign Ministry commented on the Egyptian court ruling and said it would consider a response and discuss it with the Egyptian authorities.
Israeli newspapers and local channels made withering attacks on Egypt because of this court ruling, and said it was unacceptable.
