Egyptian TV series predicting Israel's end angers Tel Aviv

Israel's foreign ministry has condemned as “unacceptable” an Egyptian TV series that predicts the destruction of Zionist regime less than 100 years after its establishment.

According to Press TV, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday that the series is “unfortunate and completely unacceptable” especially because the two sides have had “a peace treaty for the past 41 years”.

The show titled “El-Nehaya”, which means “The End” in Arabic, is set in the year 2120 and narrates the story of a computer engineer living in a world dominated by cyborg clones.

“The End” is one of many TV series premiering during the Islamic holy month of Ramadhan that began last week.

In the first episode, students are seen learning about the war to liberate al-Quds.

The teacher says “America was the central supporter of the Zionist state”, while a holographic map of a divided US is shown in the front of the classroom.

"When the time came for the Arab states to get rid of their sworn enemy, a war broke out that was named the war to liberate al-Quds", the teacher says, adding "the war ended quickly and brought about the destruction of the Zionist entity of Israel less than 100 years after its establishment."

The teacher also tells the students that "most of the Jews in the Occupied Palestine ran away and returned to their countries of origin in Europe."

The series, which was authorized by the Egyptian government’s censor, was produced by Synergy -- one of Egypt’s largest production companies which has strong government connections.

The first episode of the drama was removed from Youtube.
