Shocker.
Via Ynet:
A day before the trial of ousted President Mohamed Morsi opens, Egyptian newspaper Al-Watan released photos on Sunday allegedly documenting him in the facility in which he is held by the army. Since Morsi’s overthrow in July, no pictures of him in custody were released. In the published photo, which has yet to be authenticated, Morsi is seen wearing sweats and sitting on a leather chair.
The Egyptian paper published the transcripts of three conversations Morsi allegedly held with prominent political and foreign figures in his detention facility, which also have yet to be verified. The paper, which is not pro-Muslim Brotherhood, reported that Morsi is at a state of denial, often contradicts himself, and that his tension and nervousness are evident.
According to the paper, one of the topics discussed by Morsi is his attitude towards Israel, an issue which he attempted to avoid during his time in office. In one of the conversations, Morsi is quoted as saying: “Your children will pay the price.” To those present, who thought he was referring to the situation in Egypt, he clarified he is referring to the tense relations between Egypt and Israel.
In another transcript, Morsi speaks about the truce between Israel and Hamas, which was brokered by Egypt. Without addressing the content of the agreement, Morsi said: “It does not want our best interest at all. Days may prove that they are behind the predicament we are in now. It may be, and I have no certain information to accuse anyone, that the situation serves Israel.”
