Al-Fareen TV Owner Tawfiq Okasha: Egypt Can "Pulverize Hizbullah" and "Completely Obliterate Hamas"

Following are excerpts from an interview with Al-Fareen TV owner Tawfiq Okasha, which aired on Al-Faraeen TV on March 8, 2012

:

Tawfiq Okasha: If you were to ask me whether I like Hizbullah, I would say that it is the political party I hate the most in the entire Arab nation, because it conspired against Egypt, and because it spurred its activists, along with Hamas activists, to attack police stations and prisons in Egypt.


[...]


Egypt has the means to discipline Hizbullah. Egypt has enough weapons and airplanes to pulverize Hizbullah. Their violation of the sanctity of Egyptian soil, their entering Egyptian territory, and their destruction of Egyptian prisons, which were attacked by means of various weapons, including RPGs, must not go unanswered. But there is a time and place for everything. I am not attacking them, only responding.


As for Hamas, our response is yet to come as well. It will not happen now. All in good time.


[...]


Egypt's military machine can completely obliterate Hamas. Hamas will be no more. There will be no Hamas activists.
