Egypt cuts off diplomatic relationship with Syria

My comment: This is significant as the Muslim brotherhood (King of the South) wants to head the new Caliphate, they are in competition with Turkey (King of the North) and with Iran’s new president they may figure the way is being cleared to oust Assad and take over. Hizbollah has promised a ‘Holy’ War to protect Assad. And Russia has armed Assad to the hilt, and China is backing Russia. It’s about to get very interesting. So is Isaiah 17 about to come true? Remember the Brotherhood is in the pocket of obama or the other way around it’s hard to tell these day’s. At any rate this is very significant.

Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi said he had cut all diplomatic ties with Damascus on Saturday and called for a no-fly zone over Syria, pitching the most populous Arab state firmly against President Bashar al-Assad.

Addressing a rally called by Sunni Muslim clerics in Cairo, the Sunni Islamist head of state said: “We decided today to entirely break off relations with Syria and with the current Syrian regime.”

He also warned Assad’s allies in the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shi’ite militia Hezbollah to pull back from fighting in Syria.

“We stand against Hezbollah in its aggression against the Syrian people,” Mursi said. “Hezbollah must leave Syria – these are serious words. There is no space or place for Hezbollah in Syria.”

Mursi, who faces growing discontent at home over the economy and over fears that he will pursue an Islamist social agenda, said he was organising an urgent summit of Arab and other Islamic states to discuss the situation in Syria, where the United States has in recent days decided to take steps to arm the rebels.

Mursi, who spoke at a packed 20,000-capacity stadium and waved Syrian and Egyptian flags after his entrance, also urged world powers not to hesitate to enforce a no-fly zone over Syria. The crowd of his supporters chanted: “From the free revolutionaries of Egypt: We will stamp on you, Bashar!”
