[quote]After crushing the Muslim Brotherhood at home, Egypt's military rulers plan to undermine the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which runs the neighbouring Gaza Strip, senior Egyptian security officials told Reuters.
The aim, which the officials say could take years to pull off, includes working with Hamas's political rivals Fatah and supporting popular anti-Hamas activities in Gaza, four security and diplomatic officials said.
Since it seized power in Egypt last summer, Egypt's military has squeezed Gaza's economy by destroying most of the 1,200 tunnels used to smuggle food, cars and weapons to the coastal enclave, which is under an Israeli blockade.
Now Cairo is becoming even more ambitious in its drive to eradicate what it says are militant organisations that threaten its national security.[/quote]
Can´t they work on their own or what?
I want to say that this sudden vendeta against militants is a great thing but something about it really does not sit right with me.
I just hope that this won´t make another war on the Israel-Egypt border like the last time.
Clearly, Israel is surrounded by nations who are fixated on destroying it.
