JPOST:

Defense Minister Ehud Barak traveled to the United States late Saturday night for talks with senior administration officials aimed at promoting the Palestinian peace process and cracking down on Iran.

In the meantime, an Arabic newspaper in London, Al-Quds al-Arabi, reported Saturday that 12 American warships and at least one Israeli corvette crossed through the Suez Canal on Friday. According to the report, thousands of Egyptian soldiers were deployed along the canal to protect the vessels. Both the purpose of the crossing and the significance of Israel’s participation were unclear.

HMMM...

• THIS MIGHT BE FOR INTERDICTION PURPOSES -

• EITHER AGAINST THE IRANIAN FLOTILLA OR IN RELATION TO THE NEW UNSCR SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN -

• OR IT COULD MEAN AN ATTACK ON IRAN IS IMMINENT.

STAY TUNED...
