The Israeli press is monitoring the situation very closely. It would appear that there is a lot of cooperation between the Egyptian and Israeli armies on this one. The idea is to reign in the HAMAS/ISLAMIC JIHAD/MB in Gaza and in the Egyptian Sinai.
Israeli officials are (for once) keeping their mouths shut.
The press is covering it on TV, radio and in the print media as well. Can you blame the Israelis for being nervous? Look at their neighbors!!

The Obama administration seems to be straddling the fence on this one, much like they did with the overthrow of Mubarak. It was good news that Obama reconsidered cutting off aid to the Egyptian military. I read on the WSJ that the military aid to Egypt was part of the Camp David Accords and if the US cut that off the Accords would be broken.
