Why one IDF soldier continues to cause controversy in Egypt
The case of Dina Ovadia, an Egyptian woman from Alexandria who was stripped of her citizenship after moving to Israel and joining the IDF, has returned to the headlines in Egypt.
The interesting and controversial story of Dina Ovadia’s emigration to Israel is back in the headlines, triggering a barrage of demands for Egyptian authorities to strip the citizenship of Egyptian-Israeli dual nationals. At the same time, Israeli media, and perhaps Israeli officials, celebrate such cases.
This suggests there is still an Egyptian-Israeli conflict, despite the countries’ well-publicized agreements regarding political and economic normalization.
