SOMETIMES... TIMING IS EVERYTHING TO INCLUDE A  "CLUE".

Ok, so the day after Morsi is hailed as the great peace maker in the current conflict between Hamas and Israel, he suddenly announce he is the modern day version of the Pharaoh of Egypt!

Is anyone really surprised?

Now, I know many are going to say this was simply a coincidence and the timing had nothing to do with it.

Lets look at this anther way.

What if this conflict was played by Morsi to increase his stature in the world and more importantly in the region?

Hint, that is exactly what he did.... with a lot of help from the West / US.

On the topic of the cease fire.... everyone seems to be asking the same question..... what was achieved?

Tactically, the IDF removed a unknown proportion of the missiles able to reach deeper into Israel, or at least they hope they did.

At the strategic level.... little has changed and one has to question did Israel really intend on stopping at this point, or did they once again change their mind at the last minute.

True,  a ground operation would have been far more deadly than the air campaign and the increased anti armor capabilities of Hamas and PIJ would have made that op difficult for the Israeli pubic to accept.

So, who gained from this event?

Yep... that's right... The Pharaoh gained!!!

It's not the first time he has played the West masterfully, but this time around he even played the Persians...

Yes.... think about it.

Who was the only country that could get PIJ and other Islamic Jihad groups in Gaza and the Sinai to stop their attacks?

Iran.

Morsi knew he had to "deal" with Iran and he did just that, but to the expense of Tehran.

The Pharaoh comes out looking like the hero and Iran gets a proxy fighter group that is badly damaged and perhaps without resupply for months to come.

 It's clear that a very complex game of multilevel Chess has played out over the past week and from the dust and smoke emerges the 21st century Dictator of Egypt.

Well played Mr Morsi... .Well played!!!
