Egypt’s internal strife spells disaster for Israel – Part 1
When the Egyptian people converged at the Tahrir square (now renamed Matyrs’ square) demanding the dismissal of Hosni Mubaraq and the end of his 30 years autocratic rule, it is Israel that will suffer a great strategic loss.
Israel’s very own existence has never been owed to her own defiance and indifference to world opinion. But rather her survival rest entirely on strategic alliance with unlikely partners rightly dubbed by a correspondent from Haaretz, Israel’s own media, as strange ‘bedfellows’. Dawn with the reality of a Jewish State in ‘a sea of Arabs’ leaves Israel with no choice but to seek potential allies from the very enemies she is surrounded with. Surprisingly such potential allies are in no short supply, and much to our chagrin, reliable too.
