al-Karāmah Party and The Popular Current (Al- Tayār Al- Shaʿbī), said in a statement that the Egyptian authorities only allowed a segment of Egyptians to publicly celebrate the liberation of Sinai day only because they are supporters of the regime. The party contends that Egyptian authorities deny a wider segment of the people the right to celebrate just because of their differences and opposition to the regime and the Tīran and Sanāfīr islands agreement between Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
