NYTIMES:
Israel is “troubled” by the entry of Egyptian tanks into the northern Sinai Peninsula without coordination with Israel, a violation of the terms of the 33-year-old peace treaty between the two countries, and has asked Egypt to withdraw them, an Israeli government official said Tuesday.
The Israeli request was conveyed within the last few days, the official said, adding that it was likely that the Obama administration had made a similar approach to Cairo.
The Israeli official was speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the fragility of Israel’s relations with Egypt, already strained by the recent upheavals there. The overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak last year stripped Israel of a trusted regional ally.
The reported request from Israel elicited contradictory reactions from Egypt. A spokesman for the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, denied receiving any complaints from Israel. Citing an unidentified military source, Al Ahram, the flagship state-run newspaper, dismissed the matter as a fabrication of the Israeli news media and said that the move had been fully coordinated with the Israeli military.WE FIRST WARNED ABOUT THIS IN NOVEMBER OF 2011 - ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO - JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR THE THREAT TO FULLY GESTATE.
WE ALERTED OUR READERS ABOUT THIS DEPLOYMENT LAST WEEK.
STAY TUNED.
THIS IS VERY SERIOUS.
IT COMES AS EGYPT'S ECONOMY IS FALTERING AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR NEAR;Y $5BILLION FROM THE IMF.
SO THE WEST HAS LEVERAGE AND SHOULDN'T BACK DOWN.
STAY TUNED...
