President Mohamed Morsi voiced unfaltering support for the Syrian uprising against the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad in a speech on Saturday. “We hear your call, Syria,” said President Morsi at the start of his speech.
His speech announced six new policies regarding Syria, the boldest of which is the severing of ties with the Syrian regime.
“Today we have decided to completely severe ties with Syria. Today we have decided to close the Syrian embassy in Cairo and to withdraw our mission from Damascus,” he said.
President Morsi said he would provide financial aid to the Syrian rebels.
He justified this interference in Syria’s domestic affairs by claiming that it was the Syrian people who requested Egypt to come to their aid. “We will not let them down,” he said.
Tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters packed the Stadium to hear the president’s speech, a large number of whom were reportedly bused in from various governorates. The flag of the Free Syrian Army waved alongside that of Egypt as the crowds chanted against Al-Assad’s regime.
Two of the chants, “We will bring al-Assad to the ground” and “Sunni blood is not cheap,” echoed the calls for jihad in Syria recently voiced by Egyptian and Saudi Islamists.
Islamic clerics who took the podium before President Morsi warned the Egyptian leader in their speeches of the threat of Shi’ia, who one cleric equated with “infidels”, saying: “Jihad is a duty of offering your self, blood and money, according to your own capability, for all Muslims.”
On Friday, thousands of Islamists rallied in support of calls by Sunni Arab clerics for a holy war against Al-Assad’s government. The rally followed a Friday sermon by Saudi preacher Mohamed Al-Arifi, who summoned Muslims for “jihad in the cause of Allah in Syria […] in every possible way” from the Cairo mosque.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 60358.htmlThe Independent on Sunday has learned that a military decision has been taken in Iran – even before last week’s presidential election – to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad’s forces against the largely Sunni rebellion that has cost almost 100,000 lives in just over two years. Iran is now fully committed to preserving Assad’s regime, according to pro-Iranian sources which have been deeply involved in the Islamic Republic’s security, even to the extent of proposing to open up a new ‘Syrian’ front on the Golan Heights against Israel.
