Sky News host Chris Kenny questions why Egyptian celebrations turned into advocacy for Palestine after their World Cup win over Australia. “What might have surprised many people was how the Egyptian celebrations turned into a celebration for the non-existent country of Palestine, complete with the Palestinian flag,” Mr Kenny said. “Not only did Egypt share the glory with the people of the Palestinian territories … but in those places the locals celebrated the Egyptian victory as if it were their own. “It begs the question, as so many criticise Israel, what has Egypt done for its brothers and sisters in Gaza? “Egypt agitates diplomatically for the Palestinian people, but it doesn't let them in as migrants.”
