Ayyoubi did not deny this, recalling that the Islamic Group publicly announced its opposition to Egypt’s new regime and everyone who supported it in Lebanon, such as the Future Movement and MP Walid Jumblatt. He stressed that the relationship today with the Egyptian Embassy is almost cut off. In this respect, Ayyoubi asked the Future Movement why it criticized Hezbollah for staging a coup against legitimate elections in Lebanon, while it refrained from criticizing the party that did the same thing against legitimacy in Egypt.

#Hassan_Hamdan, known as Mahdi Amel, is a mystery to those living outside of the region. A prolific individual, he was a poet, academic and a senior member of the Lebanese Communist Party. But it was his work as a Marxist theoretician – keen to incorporate its principles into the specific realities and particular contexts of West Asian society – that ensured his importance to #Lebanon and other Arabic speaking communities.

Relations between the countries deteriorated with the Egyptian military’s overthrow of president Mohammed Mursi and its subsequent crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood movement, which Qatar backs.
