Every Egyptian has a right to live in his country, Erian is quoted as saying. He also reportedly said that the Jewish presence in Israel contributes to the occupation of Arab land.

Egyptian Jews should refuse to live under a brutal, bloody and racist occupation stained with war crimes against humanity,” Erian said during the interview

Erian also questioned why former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser expelled the Jews from Egypt in the first place.
