Egyptian TV host comes out against anti-Jewish mosque prayer

A couple of years ago, when he was president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi was seen on video answering "Amen" after a preacher said this prayer:
Oh Allah, absolve us of our sins, strengthen us, and grant us victory over the infidels. Oh Allah, deal with the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, disperse them, rend them asunder. Oh Allah, demonstrate Your might and greatness upon them. Show us Your omnipotence, oh Lord.
This is actually a very prevalent prayer not only in Egypt but throughout the Arab Muslim world.

An Egyptian TV host, Youssef al-Husseini, has come out publicly against this prayer, saying that Judaism is a sacred religion and it is not appropriate to say this in mosques.

He suggests that Zionists, not Jews, should be the object of Muslim wrath.

The Egyptian-Israel peace treaty is in force, even if Egypt still tells its people in official state media that Israel is the enemy.
