Egypt investigates allegations of collaboration between human rights advocate Dalia Ziada and Israel

Revised Article:

It's a hot topic in Egypt's political sphere as Public Prosecutor refers charges against seasoned activist Dalia Ziada to the Supreme State Security Prosecution. She's faced with allegations of partnering with Israeli entities and endangering national security by publicly defending Israel's actions in Gaza and questioning Egypt's long-standing support for the Palestinian cause.

The complaint points to her media interviews, some on Israeli TV channels, where she allegedly justified Israel's Gaza actions and discouraged Egypt's regional role. It also seeks to investigate her interactions with Israeli officials, revealed on social media, and mentions her affiliation with the Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs (JCPA), a think tank said to be friendly with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Critics claim that Ziada's remarks are a direct attack on the Egyptian state's principles, one serving the enemies: "Strip her of her Egyptian nationality," they demand.

With her relocation to Egypt later in 2023, Ziada has faced heavy backlash for her pro-Israel declarations. In April 2024, she told Yedioth Ahronoth, "Arab countries should logically support Israel." She alleged that she's been branded a traitor and targeted by Islamists, lawyers, and MPs.

According to the report, Ziada moved to the United States and joined the JCPA in May 2024. In the interview, she blamed Egypt for the rocky relationship with Tel Aviv, asserting, "Israel was bewildered by Egypt's stance."

Responding to the nationality revocation calls, Ziada expressed: "My Egyptian nationality cannot be revoked. I'm as Egyptian as the pyramids and the Nile." She showed love and gratitude towards the Israeli public, stating, "You've always been good friends to me."

In the broader picture, Dalia Ziada's association with the JCPA, a think tank focusing on Israeli security issues, has been a contentious issue in Egypt. Critics suggest that the JCPA's apparent political ties with Israeli interests, under Netanyahu's leadership, have sparked concerns surrounding Ziada's collaborations with Israeli entities and her impact on Egypt's regional role.
