Israeli Channel 14 continues its campaign against Egypt over the removal of Israel's name from Egyptian educational maps.
Israeli Channel 14 reported that a map linked to the new high school curriculum in Egypt has recently circulated, showing the area northeast of Egypt as Palestine without any mention of Israel.
The Hebrew channel added that this publication stands out against the backdrop of the new curriculum plan in Egypt, which aims to change the learning style and move from memorization to understanding and analysis, noting that the appearance of a map that does not mention Israel raises questions about how the political reality in the region is presented to students, and this is a proposal that aims primarily to politicize educational materials and serve the Israeli narrative that is not related to reality.
She pointed out that Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace agreement with Israel in 1979, and that the two countries maintain diplomatic, security and economic relations, including the supply of Israeli natural gas to Egypt, making this media presentation a desperate attempt to exaggerate ordinary matters and create an artificial tension that has no basis in reality.
Israeli Channel 14 said that the peace agreement includes recognition of each state’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but it implicitly acknowledged that it is not legally possible to judge from the mere publication of a map as a flagrant violation of the Camp David Accords, revealing the weakness of the Israeli argument and its reliance on speculation and fabrications rather than established facts.
The Hebrew channel added that it is unclear whether this map was issued directly by the Egyptian Ministry of Education or by a private company that prepares educational materials, stressing that this ambiguity proves that the Israeli claims about an official Egyptian policy to remove Israel from maps are merely flimsy allegations that have no connection to reality.
She pointed out that relations between Israel and Egypt are based on a peace agreement that is about five decades old, and the two countries cooperate in security and economic fields, and Egypt plays a pivotal role in the issues of the Gaza Strip, which makes Channel 14’s attempt to distort this reality by promoting false claims about educational maps a clear reflection of the failure of the Israeli media campaign to find real justifications for its pressure on Egypt.
These reports are part of a systematic Israeli media campaign led by channels such as Channel 14, which aims to exaggerate any ordinary event in Egypt and try to link it to a fabricated conflict narrative.
The focus on educational maps in this context comes as a desperate attempt to put pressure on Cairo and create pretexts to justify hardline Israeli positions, completely ignoring the fact that Egyptian curricula reflect the national identity and Arab constants of Egypt, and that any attempt to politicize educational materials is merely a reflection of internal Israeli media hysteria and its inability to accept the established Arab reality that is not subject to blackmail or distortion.
