Egypt endorces Israel Gaza incursion


Hamas Mocks Israel; Egypt: Teach Hamas a Lesson -Khaled Abu Toameh

Hamas mocked what it described as the "state of confusion" in Israel over how to react to the latest spree of rocket and mortar attacks.

Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper quoted Egyptian Intelligence Chief General Omar Suleiman [pictured above with Israel's Defence Minister Ehud Barak] as saying that Egypt was not opposed to a limited Israeli operation in Gaza. According to the report, Suleiman said, "The Hamas leaders have become very arrogant....It's time to teach these leaders a lesson so that they would wake up from their dreams."

Nice to see. We hear about the stable Arab countries being unhappy about Iran and the terrorist groups like Hamas, but it is rare that we see such public displays.
