Arab social media has also been up in arms at the passage of an Israeli warship through the Suez Canal towards the Red Sea. A video over the weekend showed an Israeli warship raising Egyptian and Israeli flags while crossing the Suez Canal. According to maritime law and naval etiquette, the flag of the host country is flown when navigating local waterways. Mostafa Al-A’sar, an Egyptian journalist and former political prisoner now based in Canada, expressed his disapproval with a post on X. Meanwhile, watch the video to find out Suez Canal Authority’s response to the protests.
