The actions of Morsi as regards his Arab neighbours is reminiscent of the actions of Egypt's Arab-voice founding father, Gamal Abdel Nasser. Nasser defied all Western advertures and rolled more with the East with the hope and aim of making Egypt a formidable Arab voice. This somewhat is exactly what Morsi is trying to do. Though today, there are many Arab 'powers' but Egypt will have a significant impact if she chooses to be a formidable voice.
The invitation of Ahmadinejad to Egypt will definately not augur well with Tel Aviv and Washington but Morsi, since his Gaza visit, continues to show he can and will never jettison Arab solidarity for Israel or the United States. Egyptian foreign minister, Mohamed Kamel Amr said the invitation was extended during the President's meeting with the Iranian foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi.
