Egypt Air, the largest airline in Egypt, has removed Israel from the map – literally. On its website, Ynet has learned, Jordan's land reaches the Mediterranean Sea.  

The airline's subsidiary, Air Sinai, flies to Israel regularly, but customers seeking flights to Ben Gurion National Airport will have a hard time finding them. On the map are the names of the Mideast capitals – Amman, Beirut, and Damascus – but Israel is nowhere to be found.

Egypt Air is the first large airline to have omitted the state from its map of destinations. Other airlines based in Muslim countries, such as Turkish Airlines and Royal Jordanian, include Israel and Tel Aviv on its maps.

Egypt FM warns Israel against attacks on Gaza
By   AFP March 24, 2011, 7:37 pm

CAIRO: Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Al-Araby on Wednesday urged Israel to exercise restraint and refrain from launching any attacks on Gaza after a bomb attack in Jerusalem killed one person.

Al-Araby called on Israel "to exercise restraint and warned it against rushing into military operations in Gaza which will only lead to more tension," his spokeswoman Menha Bakhoum said.

"Israel must not be given a pretext to pursue violence," Al-Araby said, while stressing that Egypt's policy "is firm in its rejection and condemnation of the targeting of civilians."

One person was killed and more than 30 were wounded when a bomb ripped through a Jerusalem bus on Wednesday, just hours after militants vowed revenge for two deadly Israeli raids on Gaza.

Israeli raids had on Tuesday killed eight Gazans, two of them minors, prompting threats of revenge by the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, to strike ever deeper inside Israel.
