Mhaer remarks came in an inteview with Nile News Channel to be broadcast on Friday, according to the Qatar News Agency (QNA). 

Commenting on Washington’s threat to boycott a UN anti-racism conference due to convene in Durban, south Africa unless Arabs drop an earlier UN general assembly resolution equating Zionism with racism, the Egyptian minister said it was essential for Arabs to expose Israel’s practices in the occupied Palestinian territories. 

Meanwhile, Maher told the station that it is untrue that Egypt is trying to develop ballistic missiles with a North Korean assistance. 

The US State Department has said that the allged program is “within acceptable limits,” according to reports.
