And Umm al-Rashrash: The forgotten occupied Egyptian village.<br /> Thu, 12 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700 http://news.linktv.org/videos/mosaic-news-051211-world-news-from-the-middle-east Israel, Egypt, Palestinians, Hosni Mubarak, Protest, West Bank, Middle East, Arab Spring, Syria, Libya Presenter, Female #1 Egypt recovered the Sinai but part of the Egyptian territory remains under occupation and has been forgotten. Reporter, Female #1 The former Egyptian regime's two rulers, Anwar Saddat and Hosni Mubarak, built their glory on the liberation of the Sinai and the recovery of occupied Egyptian territory. Despite the reality of the Sinai today, on this Arab land remains a village that the occupation and its accomplices did not succeeded in erasing from the Arabs' memory. "Eilat," in today's records, is an Israeli city near the Aqaba Gulf coast. It is located in a remote southern area of Palestine, between the Jordanian city of Aqaba to the east and the Egyptian town of Taba to the west. The city was built in 1952. However, since the history of this land is older than 50 or 60 years, this Eilat is none other than Umm al-Rashrash. The Egyptian village was occupied by Jewish gangs on March 10, 1949, six months after the Armistice Agreement and one year after the 1948 war, following the ceasefire treaty. The gangs took advantage of the withdrawal of the Jordanian garrison troops that were under the authority of an English commander to gain a foothold and a maritime port on the Red Sea. The gangs, led by Yitzhak Rabin, attacked the village during Operation Uvda. Three hundred and fifty Egyptian soldiers and officers from the Egyptian Border Guard forces were stationed in Umm al-Rashrash. The gangs killed everyone and buried them in a mass grave that was discovered in 2008. The Egyptian government has remained silent for decades about its claim of Umm al-Rashrash. However, many voices rose to recover the rights of the children of the Nile. The Popular Front for Recovering Umm al-Rashrash was founded in 1997 with the participation of young journalists, lawyers, retired senior military officers, and prominent Egyptian figures. The Front united their military expertise, documentation efforts, and legal rights to obtain maps that prove that Umm al-Rashrash is an Egyptian village. In addition, a number of Egyptian parliamentarians demanded the recovery of the occupied village. Former Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit was the only one who defended the occupation of Umm al-Rashrash, considering it non-Egyptian according to the agreements of 1906 and 1922. He indicated that the land was given to Palestine according to UN Resolution 181 issued in 1947. Egyptian or Palestinian, the occupation has turned it into an Israeli tourist attraction. Documents indicate that it is Egyptian, so the victorious Egyptian revolution now has to decide if the village is worth fighting for.
