"Mossad, Foreign Intelligence Behind Egypt’s Incitement against Hezbollah"
Hanan Awarekeh

At a time Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were still suffering from a shortage of humanitarian aids due to the Israeli siege along with the closure of the Rafah crossing that connects Gaza to the outer world through Egypt, Cairo is engaged in a late campaign against Hezbollah and its Secretary General who had called on the Egyptian regime to open the Rafah crossing for the stricken Palestinians.

Egypt continued its campaign against Hezbollah on the political, security and media levels amid expectations of a more aggressive tone in the coming days. So far, “confessions” made in the framework of investigations and interrogations with the Hezbollah operative in Egypt have been frivolous.

Neither PR, the PA nor the US will help Likud, predicts Khaled Amayreh in occupied East Jerusalem

With only one week in office, the new Israeli government is discovering in earnest that adopting an extreme platform with regard to the Palestinian issue is one thing and reconciling it with hard global political realities is quite another.

This inherent predicament is increasingly becoming "the" defining feature of a government considered the most right-wing, most bloated and most eccentric in Israel’s history.

The other face of fascism
Lieberman’s ascent to power is not only a dilemma for Arabs and the US, but also for the Jewish lobby, writes Muqtedar Khan*

"American Jews… are dismayed by Lieberman, mostly because he represents values that we abhor" — Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism

A foreign minister is to the rest of the world the face of the nation he or she represents. They epitomise the values and politics of the nation and personify its culture, identity and values. Israel has a new face now and that face is the ugly visage of fascism. Currently it travels under the name Avigdor Lieberman.
