Egyptian israeli relationship in the few weeks. ( a large difference in points of views)

Jan 10, 2008 17:02

the last few weeks showed large difference and debate between Egypt and Israel even more than the last 20 years, for the first time Egyptian people saw Mubarak so angry to the degree that he broke his long silence about lots of subjects and forgot lots of his diplomatic way in speaking

The problem started last month when Israel's  foreign minister Levni criticised Egypt and said that Egyptian efforts to control borders are not enough and that Egypt isn't doing its best tp prevent weapons passing from and to Gaza strip.

few days after the Israeli defence minister /Barak visited Egypt and met with mubarak fr few hours then he came out to declare that Israel values Egpt's role in controling the borders and Levni didn't mean what she said.
it was supposed to be the end of the problem yet it was just starting Mubarak was really furious!!

in a rare long interview with the Israeli newspaper (Yedya3ot Ahronot) mubarak opened fire on levni and said so much statements of anger starting with " I am not working under your foreign minister's supervision and I am not to be judged by her.... reaching to saying, Levni crossed so many red lines by this declaration and she doesn't understand what she done by her statement.

Mubarak continued his speach very angirly saying, " Instead of talking about Egypt's efforts your foreign minister could phone or send some assstant or come to ask about the efforts on the borders , yet she prefered to sit in her ffice and judge me!!"
we all know that working in reality and on land isn't like sitting in the offcie and talking and I am ready to leave the whole work for your government to control the border from their side if they don't like the way I deal with it.

then Mubarak started to expose some secrets like assuring the newspaper that weapons enter gaza via the sea and not from Sinai
also that Israel is the one who refused to close the main tunnel from gaza's side during sharon's period
also that Iran isn't the only source of these weapons and he said such a strange word to the interviewer saying,
If I told you where these weapons come from you will stand up on your toes!!

the very angry president refused to announce any of his information to the news paper about the other sources of Gaza weapons and instead he answered saying ," I am a responsible man and I will tell the people to whom this weapons' issue matter refering to Isael's government.

this was the frst ring in Egypt- Israel's depate .... the rest in the following link

Mubarak was seriously angry and kept in mind how will Levni's statement affect the public opinion in Egypt and also how will this reflect on relationship between Egypt and the USA which is already in passing by large crisis since the military aid to Egypt was decreased.
He said to the interviewer that Israel's leaders understand the Egyptian psychology wrongfully thinking that pressure will make Egyptian public accept to co operate with ISrael while the reverse occur because Egyptians are already boiling because of the view of palestinian case.
Also Mubarak didn't forget to comment upon the american situation even before anybody in americ said single satement, Mubark said,"we co operate with USA but don't work for her, we don't accept any pressure from outside and if they want to cancel military aid, let them do it"
ofcourse Mubarak's attitude turned to be more aggressive than defensive because of the previous diminution in Egyptian military aid by Israel's lobby and how he managed to get the substitution of this aid by large historical aid from France, the new Egyptin ally in europe and it doesn't surprise me that at this time Mr Sarcozi was spending christmas vacation in luxor.

few days latter there was another crisis... the palestinian pilgrimagers in Egypt were waiting to go home via Rafah yet Israel wanted them to pass via ISrale's land to be able to make a check on all of them as Israel suspected tat they were trained in Iran for using pumps .
the cris was coinciding with Mubarak's angery statement replying to Levni and most people thought that it will be solved yet No one predicted that Mubarak had the intention to show israel that he isn't just talking this time, he was actualy doing!!!

Mubarak gave the permission to all of palestininal pilgrimagers to pass through Rafah to Gaza strip bypassing israel's security stations and making the situation more and more difficult.
ISrael responded by starting raids on Gaza yet this wasn't enough for her to get revenge from Mubarak's angry statements and his exposure of secrets also his last decision which he made without even telling Israel!

So the answer came thriugh the Israeli TV, a big hit by a dicumentary movie showing the process of recruiting Asharf Marawan, the famoous Egyptian businessman to work with mosad, this was very tough step from Israel against Mubarak who declared in the last year afer Ashraf marawan's death that he was honest man and wored for Egypt's side
The documentary was the center of attention of Egypt's media especially the main news paper Al Ahram which is the largest Arab newspaper and upon reading Mubarak's credibility was a big question after the documentary that was for the first time in both sound and picture!!!!!

so Mubarak's movement was the next to respond to that documentary, his answer came so rapid in a few days when the Egyptian govenment announced that they found lots of  graves thought to be of Egyptian solders after 1976 whom are thought to be slayed by Israel's army, Egypt will investigate the incident and it can be a new start of one f the largest political depates between Egypt who accuse Israel of doing lots of war crime against Egyptian soliders after 1967 those who were captured by ISrael and their desstiny is still unknown. and israel who strongly denies this accusation.

So why did this all start!!!
Dream TV is the answer in my opinion.....
Dream Tv is a space channel in Egypt Owned by anEgyptian famous businessman called Ahmed Bahgat... the channel is out of control of the Egyptian governemt being a non governemntal TV and so it is free to talk about whatever it want,
few weeks ago the channel started long series of episodes in its TV show called (Al hakika or the truth) about Egyptians who moved to Israel and it got out of control even for the show hoster himself as so many conditions called from Israel and so many problems surfaced also the parliment members started few actions against any persn who move to Israel.
In my opinion this is the samll sparkel that set the fire on.
how will this fire end,,, what will happen I am not sure, yet I am sure there isnothing dangerous like war will occurr come on these are Egypt and Israel... no war will ever occur
yet the Egyptian Israeli relationship will not get any better in the present time!!
