International terrorist groups with roots in Libya, Sudan and Iraq are working to take over the Sinai Peninsula, according to a report from the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center. Efforts to turn the region into a major launching point for attacks are being encouraged by Al-Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawahiri, it stated.

The report noted a recent attack near the border as evidence of terrorists’ attempts to take advantage of the anarchy and growing anger in Sinai.

Gaza terrorist groups are heavily involved, it noted. “Palestinian terrorist groups active in the Gaza strip are accessible to local Bedouin organizations in Sinai which affiliate themselves with the global jihad, and have both financial and ideological motives."

Can someone tell me WHY Israel gave back the Sinai?
the East Bank?
Gaza?

They gave up the Sinai for a few decades of peace. Useless desert for a chance to breath - not a bad deal.

The others, I’m not so sure about. They also gave up the chance to annihilate the PLO in Lebanon. Shouldn’t have taken that deal...

Israel had made a wonderful vacation spot in the Sinai.
Made large investments there.
What happened to all that, they just walk away? Let the mooselimbs turn it back to dust?
