Obama asks Egypt to protect Israeli embassy

US President Barack Obama urged Egyptian authorities on Saturday to protect the Israeli embassy in Cairo, following an attempt by a group of 3o protesters to ransack its offices.
Obama "reviewed the steps that the United States is taking at all levels to help resolve the situation without further violence, and to call on the Government of Egypt to honor its international obligations to safeguard the security of the Israeli Embassy," the president’s office said in a statement.
Earlier, Israel appealed for American help in guarding its Cairo embassy after Egyptian protesters stormed the building housing it on Friday.
A statement from Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said that in conversations with US counterpart Leon Panetta and Obama administration envoy Dennis Ross he had "asked them to protect the embassy from the demonstrators".

the thing is they are scared to have an embassy even
I don't understand, it's a flat in a building
why is that?
if there is an international law, and mentioned, it could have protected them
but no, they don't trust laws they don't keep up with their words, and they are scared!
this is a nation that have technology at maximum, and weapons, why would they be afraid?
as Islam said/says then, this is a trait in their character
