I’m sure the Morsi/AQ crowd would love to start some shooting between Israel and Egypt.
...”I’m sure the Morsi/AQ crowd would love to start some shooting between Israel and Egypt”....
Morsi and the MBS have been at this since Morsi ‘took’ office...gun running and basically inviting Jihadists, Hamas and any other terrorist group to ‘come on down to the Sinai’....which is why the planned clean sweep of the area once Morsi was out...and they wasted no time getting it under way.
The ‘nests’ are more than just getting stirred.......but let me also add that the MBS in Cairo have publicaly stated, from Rabba, that the Sinai clashes will not cease until Morsi and his administration is reinstated.
Additionally...this is also about disrupting cargo ships thru the Suez....if the Jihadists can stop the flow of oil they can affect every nation..including ours. 90% of all oil is transported thru the Suez.
There are huge stakes at play in Egypt that will profoundly affect the entire ME....we would have never seen the long line of diplomats, from all over the world, “visiting” the temporary administration were it not more than just significant.
Interesting fact...this week was the largest in history of cargo ships passing thru the Suez .....they all know (with Egypt as it is currently)...they have a chance to wipe out a good part of these thugs....many are also in the Rabba & Nadah encampments.. so they have those pretty much contained at the moment.
BIBI and SISI are untied in the effort to claer out the Sinai...but both have their eyes fully open to each other as well...
At any rate if things get too hot on the Sinai..the Un and Eu will also send forces to protect the Suez....according to the Camp David agreements.
