Well, the facts may be the first casulty of this story and
in the Middle East and Politics that is
usually the case, but lets look at what is being said in this article.
Does any believe for a minute the IDF would allow the
Egyptian military to enter Gaza
airspace without IDF approval?
So, for the sake of argument, lets assume...just assume.
there is some level of truth to this seemingly outrageous allegation.
Why would the Israeli government even contemplate such an
event?
Let's take a stab at that question.
It's no mystery the Sinai is a hotbed of potential unrest
for Egypt .
It's also doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize who may
have run back into the safety zone of Gaza as the Muslim Brotherhood was being disassembled.
And finally, it's clear as much as Hamas would like to make
everyone believe they control Gaza ,
they simply do not; at least not at a level that keeps "others" from
bedding down there.
Who would run to Gaza
you might ask?
Does anyone think there is not a radical faction of the MB?
Does anyone truly believe AQ and other Islamic Radicals
would not retreat from a well advertised, pending ground operation in the Sinai
by the Egyptian military?
And just where would they "retreat" to?
Yep... Gaza ...
by tunnel of course!
Why does anyone think the Egyptian military attempted to
seal off the tunnels they knew were used by these groups prior to any pending
op in the Sinai?
Ok, lets move on and take a look at why Hamas would be
shouting from the rooftops about Egypt .
First off, they are probably convinced the story of the
Egyptian military working hand in hand with the IDF; given it has happened for
years!
Now, let's insert the Fatah factor to this story.
Would Fatah love to see the military arm of Hamas take a
beating at the hands of the Egyptian military?
Perhaps, but the idea of Hamas being seen as unable to
control Gaza meets the needs of Fatah just as well.
It's the story of Hamas bringing pain to the people of Gaza that Fatah is
looking for and over the past two weeks or so, that story has gained traction
with each passing day.
So, what is missing from the "story"?
If you said, " no talk of the IDF and the Egyptian
military working together", you would be right on the mark.
Why not?
Why no mention of this implied "Alliance "?
Can Hamas stand to paint Egypt as an enemy?
Can Hamas tell a story of the Egyptian military being pro Zionist?
So, what purpose does this story really provide and who does
it proved it to?
Notice at the end of the article, the comment is made by
Yusef, that Hamas should strive to seek "reconciliation" with Fatah
and do so as soon as possible?
Who would that possibly benifit?
Did you guess Fatah?
Well, if you did and you based that on the fact that Abbas
is right in the middle of trying to restart the peace talks with Israel , then
you are thinking at a much higher level than most brain dead journalist.
Would the IDF allow Egypt
to fly over Gaza ?
Perhaps!
If Egypt
is about to attempt to regain control of the Sinai, then knowing what might
come after them without making the IDF get involved is a sound strategic concept.
Its obvious the "message" of flyover is being
heard by Hamas and that message is, "you
better not stick your fingers into the Sinai and the actions that are
about to take place there".
It's easy to see Hamas has had real bad month and it appears
it's only going to get worse.
Can the Egyptian Military occupy Gaza ?
An Egyptian "Peace Keeping Force" in Gaza with Israeli concurrence,
wouldn't that just drive the Islamic Fundamentalist wild!!!!
Lets see what happens and remember; it's never boring in the
Middle East .
