The Israeli’s have operatives all over the ME. There has to be some very heavy threat going on under the radar. I am still thinking that Iran is directly involved. They are posturing for some sort of political advantage here.

Mubarak forms Cabinet amid shouts of ‘Get out!’
‘This is a failed attempt — he is done with,’ one protester says
msnbc.com staff and news service reports
CAIRO — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak swore in a new Cabinet on Monday, replacing one dissolved as a concession to unprecedented anti-government protests.

In the most significant change, the interior minister — who heads internal security forces — was replaced. A retired police general, Mahmoud Wagdi, was named to replace Habib el-Adly, who is widely despised by protesters for brutality shown by security forces.

Still, the new Cabinet is unlikely to satisfy the tens of thousands of protesters who have taken to the streets in cities across Egypt the past week demanding nothing short of the ouster of Mubarak and his entire regime.

As the unprecedented unrest in the Arab world’s most populous nation entered a seventh day, thousands of protesters poured into Cairo’s Tahrir Square chanting “Get out ... We want you out” and singing Egypt’s national anthem.

Soldiers looked on without taking action, which would have been inconceivable just a week ago.

“We don’t recognize any decisions Mubarak has taken since Jan. 25,” Mostafa el-Naggar, a supporter of prominent reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei, referring to the first day of the protests. “This is a failed attempt — he is done with.”
