NOBODY
IN EGYPT
Sometimes,
governments send messages, in this case the Egyptian military, in ways that
can't be overlooked if you're not paying attention.
The
flooding of the Gaza Strip tunnels has an impact on the population inside Gaza , but the real message
is to Hamas!
The
denial of Hamas headquarters in Cairo
is also a message from the Egyptian military.
So,
let me ask a simple question.
Do
these two events signal that the Egyptian military is one, not on the side of
the Muslim brotherhood, and more importantly not in favor of supporting Hamas?
You
see, it appears Egyptian military is actually sent to messages.
One
is to the West and the second, in my opinion more importantly, to the
brotherhood; "we still call the shots in Egypt "!
Make
no mistake, these two rather remarkable yet apparently overlooked events seem
to be sending a clear signal from Egypt 's military.
Over
the course of the last several weeks I've heard many individuals asked the
question as to why the United
States continues to send arms to the
Egyptian military.
Could
it be that the US
government know something most others simply don't grasp?
Could
the delivery of arms to the Egyptian military be taking place because the West
understands the Egyptian military is still on "their side"?
One
thing is for sure, Hamas in very short order is come to realize where they
stand with the Egyptian military.
Quite
honestly, there is a price for Hamas to pay for supporting terrorist operations
in the Sinai and the loss of Egyptian military lives did not go unnoticed.
So
what will become of the tunnel operations in the Gaza ?
It
appears not all the tunnels have been affected and quite honestly this event is
probably nothing more than "messaging".
Denying
Hamas headquarters in Cairo
is also nothing more than "messaging"!
You
can rest assured that both of these events did not go unnoticed by Iran
and the brotherhood!
It
also did not go unnoticed by the Israeli government.
The
dynamics of Egypt
became evident several weeks ago has its military appeared slow to react to the
protest against the current government.
These
two new events are further indications that all is not lost in the struggle for
control of Egypt .
The
Muslim brotherhood realizes today more than it did yesterday just how difficult
it is to "rule".
I
have spoken the past about the relationships that have developed between the
IDF and the Egyptian military over the past 30 years and how these
relationships cannot be overlooked.
None
of these actions equate into smooth waters for Egypt , but they do give a clear
indication of just how difficult certain organizations can make day-to-day life
for the Muslim brotherhood.
I'm
anxious to see the reactions of Hamas's leadership over these two events and I
would have loved to been a fly on the wall when the phones began to ring
between Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood.
