Darkness of the Middle East

There were three pistols, a five -thousandth crowd with reinforcement, one Egyptian feldmarshal, one US Secretary of Defense, one president of the same country and a lot of nerves in Ierusalem, where all the Nerves of the State Department of the USA in Ierusalem, where all the all -time was gathered at the six thousandths of the US Department of the US Department. The Israeli elite is from the Prime Minister to the head of the general security service (Shin-Bet).

Netanyahu tried to get through to Field Marshal, Muhammad Khussein Tantaui, the head of the Higher Military Council of Egypt, who governed the country, but the trouble - the assistants could not find the latter in any way. Before the new head of Egyptian intelligence, General Murad Muaphi Netanyahu, along with the head of Shin-Bet, Jorama Cohen, phoned about ten in the evening. True, Muaphi was in no hurry to tear the uniform shirt on his chest for the Israelis, and the Egyptian police watched what was happening for a couple of hours from the side. When the US Secretary of Defense Leon Panett called Cairo, Tantaui approached the telephone tube from nothingness. By four in the morning, the operation of the Egyptian commander to evacuate the Israelites began.

Nine hours after the start of chaos at the embassy building. During these nine hours, the embassy guards barricaded behind the last armored door managed to shoot several times from the windows to the air, for an acute, and say goodbye to their families. Result: people are alive, Egypt announced the adherence of the Viennese conventions to protect diplomatic murals, Israel, it seems, was not very offended and intended soon to send an ambassador, plenipotentiary and extraordinary again. That is, everything is good that ends well. The question is actually not even how it ended, the question is how it began.

For example, the crowd initially not chanted anti -Israeli slogans at all, but the most anti -governmental. And during the assault on the embassy, ​​not only the Israeli flag was torn from the flagpole: the local department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was defeated and several patrol police vehicles were set fire. Yes, and the assault on the embassy began after several hours of aggressive fermentation around. That is, the aggression of the masses was competently aimed at the largest and most easily affordable stimulus ...

Despite the thirty years of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, the inner, bubbling hatred of the Israelis remained. Now, after the fall of Mubarak, there is no one to suppress it - and there is no need. And the crowd does not understand what the country's strategic interests are. The crowd needs blood to the aggression. Even the crowd showed that the central government in Egypt ceased to exist - they are not afraid, they are not respected and they are not particularly accepted. Power is going on the crowd on the one-side: on the one hand, he doesn’t really want to resist her, in order to avoid a new tahrir and the real probability of a new revolution, this time more bloody, and on the other, he is still trying to keep her face and, reluctantly, does something after a shout from Washington.

Washington has a club - a billion three hundred million dollars of financial assistance to Egypt, which has been provided from the moment of signing a peace treaty between Cairo and Jerusalem in 1979. A month ago, the Islamists with the Islamic on the way to the Israeli resort Eilat showed Cairo that he had lost the Sinai Peninsula. Now - that the Higher Military Council is losing influence in the capital. And this does not depend on the number of orders of soldiers on the streets of the city. So the unfortunate Field Marshal Tantaui is torn between the desire to receive American financial assistance, the condition of which is to preserve the peace treaty with Israel, and the fear of the crowd incorpected by Islamic fundamentalists. The crowd, by the way, is about to go to the American embassy a week - to demand the deportation of the ambassador. And this despite the fact that Hillary Clint in June admitted that the states are ready to go on a dialogue with the Muslim Brothers in the framework of the changing political situation in Egypt and the emergence of new forces, which, on a non-violent basis, can contribute to the establishment of parliamentary democracy, participating in legitimate elections.

It remains to understand whether the “brothers” themselves are ready for this. While the external enemy is Israel - here Türkiye is stirring up water and Islamists of all stripes, and Palestinians add oil to the fire, going to a unilateral proclamation of the state to the UN without the resumption of the negotiation process.

By the way, the potential place of the following riots is Jordan. King Abdalle was still able to restrain the anger of his own crowd, and the demonstrations in the amman did not reach the point of no return and a direct clash with security forces. True, King Abdullah, also began to bend and voiced the threat against some external forces who want to solve the Palestinian problem, including refugees, "at the expense of Jordan." He promised by the power of weapons to defend the future of his country-if someone decides that Palestinian refugees will have to remain in the Hashemian kingdom forever: "Jordan is Jordan, and Palestine is Palestine." The king is afraid that in the absence of a peaceful agreement between Jerusalem and Ramallah and, due to the demographic factor, it will become not Hashemite, but Palestinian. In fact, this is the same forwarding of internal aggression and instability on an amorphous external enemy.

“Muslim brothers” the king’s fear and all the instability of the situation understand-and, inspired by events in Cairo, are already beginning to organize a new “Million March” for the next Friday to the Israeli embassy in Aman. The requirement is the same - send the Israeli ambassador. In Jerusalem, they decided not to evacuate anyone ahead of time, but only to seriously strengthen the protection of the embassy, ​​the building of which and so inaccessible fort. If an attempt to storm will still take place, it means that another moderate-pragmatic regime in the Middle East will come to an end. And the wave of Arab spring, which initially proclaimed the principles of democratization and equality, is finally saddled by the raids-radiks, competently operating with the blind hatred of the crowd ...
