The planner of the assassination of Egyptian President Sadat, Tarek A-Zumur, responds to the column published in N12 magazine and dealt with the enthusiastic support he gives to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Apparently under pressure from his hosts in Qatar, Zumur claims in a conversation with the Arab 21 newspaper that he takes a consistent stance in favor of human rights protection and rejects any extremism.

Zomor says that Ehud Yaari's columns "are read by decision-makers in Israel and the public," but completely refrained from responding to criticism of the propaganda campaign he is conducting in favor of Sinwar.

It seems that Zomor and his hosts felt that his blatant alignment with Sinwar creates political discomfort for them in the international arena, which is why the response has now been published.

Among other things, Zumor claims that he supports the Palestinians just as he supports the Coptic minority in Egypt, blacks in the USA, and Christians in New Zealand.

Tarek al-Zumur spent 29 years in prisons in Egypt for his role in the assassination of Sadat. He managed to graduate with honors with a doctorate in political thought, which he is very proud of. In addition, he tried to establish his own party in Egypt after being released from prison at the outbreak of the "Arab Spring," but he was unable to obtain permission from the authorities. He then became a kind of political preacher - with many Arab youth eagerly drinking in his words. He has his own sites on social networks, and many interview videos of him on YouTube.
