America’s Worry

America made frantic moves, and Israel feared for future developments after the success of the popular protests in Egypt and the ousting of Hosni Mubarak’s regime.

The moves and the fear are not for the future of the Egyptian people and the future of the revolution, and the desire to protect them, but rather concern for maintaining Israeli-Egyptian relations, the Camp David accords and the continued looting, through unfair and unjust agreements, of Egyptian food for the people of Israel. There is also fear of American interests in the region and the impact of the absence of an ally and a key supporter and sponsor of those interests.

The first American move was the survey by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. armed forces, about the direction of the Israeli entity, examining what is best for the next stage and confirming American support for that entity.

Israel’s terror of what has happened in Egypt was evident in the political battleground and was translated into demands for the American administration to tell the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces not to rush into conducting elections, fearing the appointment of forces and people who do not who conform to the feelings of Israel. It is certain that what happened in Egypt — the changes — did not please the Zionist authorities, just as it troubled the American administration; they will work hastily to involve themselves in an attempt to mold the situation according to their desires and those of their ally, Israel. They will attempt many methods and techniques, the first the carrot, and then, when that fails, the stick.

America has many methods and techniques, and their crowbars will open many doors ripe and ready for them, through the temptations of commercial agreements, the opening of new American markets to Egyptian goods and even more assistance than before, thereby controlling Egyptian responses to American demands and conditions.

Behind most of the changes that have happened in Arab nations since antiquity was the U.S. or the West, for the simple fact that such changes were often hatched in the corridors and chambers of Western intelligence agencies. But the situation in Egypt was different, for the shock was great and confusion was apparent. The reason, again, is simple: because what happened was not about the West, it rendered the Western intelligence departments like “the deaf at a wedding procession”.
