"The Israeli establishment is pleased to see that Omar Suleiman, the former head of Egypt's intelligence services who was recently appointed to be Egypt's first vice president, is angling to continue the Mubarak regime."
Global Research has been in contact with the Spirit of Rachel Corrie, a Malaysian ship carrying a humanitarian aid cargo to Gaza, which has been attacked in international waters by Israel.

The Israeli ship was coming from one end and the Egyptian ship was coming from another end. Firing. We are just stalled now.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering sending his special adviser Isaac Molho to Cairo for talks with Egypt’s interim leaders, following a warning to Israel by the Egyptian army’s chief of staff Saturday not to interfere in Cairo’s decision to open the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza.
Egypt's foreign minister said in an interview with Al-Jazeera on Thursday that preparations were underway to open the Rafah border crossing with Gaza on a permanent basis.
" Mohamed ElBaradei, former IAEA chief and potential presidential candidate in Egypt’s upcoming elections, has stated that if Israel attacked Gaza again Egypt would not be a silent spectator and could make a counterattack, a website reported. "
GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian security agencies have identified two men killed in the northern Gaza Strip Wednesday night as Egyptians.

The Israeli army earlier announced firing lethal missiles at two targets east of the Shuhada Cemetery east of the northern Gaza Strip town of Jabalia. The army claimed the men were trying to plant explosive devices.
-
The victims engaged in an armed clash with the troops before the arrival of the tanks and planes that launched the deadly fire against the two men, a field monitor said.

The following statement has gone viral over Facebook and has been sent to us by several people. It was issued by a group called "Gaza Youth Breaks Out.
-
Fuck Hamas. Fuck Israel. Fuck Fatah. Fuck UN. Fuck UNWRA. Fuck USA! We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community!
Egyptian security forces uncovered a munitions stockpile, including anti-aircraft missiles, destined for Gaza, the Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported on Tuesday.
-
This is not the first time that anti-aircraft missiles and other munitions destined to be smuggled into Gaza have been seized by Egyptian forces.
-
In September, Israeli and Palestinian news reported that Egyptian troops recovered machine guns, ammunition, over 170 anti-aircraft shells, 90 artillery shells and anti-tank landmines in a series of raids across the Sinai Peninsula.
Yesterday morning Salama Abu Hashish, 20 years, was herding his sheep and goats in Beit Lahya, in northern Gaza, when the Israeli Occupation Forces shot him without any warning. The bullet hit his back and went straight through one of his kidneys.

Yesterday’s attacks come amidst an escalating Israeli assault on workers in the border area: in the past five weeks alone, 40 people have been injured in the buffer zone, an Israeli military-declared no-go zone that runs along the Gazan side of the border in a swathe 300 to 500 meters wide. However, according to the United Nations, the “high risk” zone stretches up to 1000-1500 meters. The total area amounts to 35% of Gaza’s arable land.
The rolling blackouts thankfully hit Gaza in even more of a stutter than they used to. Some days, like today, the power remains on all day.

Today I went to the martyr’s tent in Beit Lehiya. The shepherd who had died was freshly married. His child had been born two days before. His father said, “I am open,” indicating a line running along his sternum. The young man who had died had been his oldest son, leaving three brothers and two sisters. My friends working here, and the statistics, say that these murders, even more, the injuries, have been incessant since I left at the end of July. Incessant, and nearly banal, and marked in the West by a thundering silence—the silence of a racism that roars at the death of a Jewish Israeli and does not even bother to shrug at the death of a Bedouin living with his sheep
The new book Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War Against the Palestinians will surely attract the attention of Palestine solidarity activists because of the implied promise of a collaboration between its prominent co-authors, Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé, and because of its highly topical focus on Gaza. Unfortunately, readers will likely be disappointed.
-
The slim, 200-page volume is actually a collection of disparate essays written by either Pappé or Chomsky; the only evidence of interaction between the two is in the introduction and Chapter 6, "The Ghettoization of Palestine." Both were written as an interview with the two authors by Frank Barat, a London-based activist. However, even in these chapters, Chomsky and Pappé merely share their independent opinions, leaving readers hungering for an actual give and take.
-
One highlight, however, is Chapter 2: "Clusters of History: US Involvement in the Palestine Question." In this chapter, Pappé analyzes the US-Israel relationship and instead of pointing only at the powerful Israel lobby, he includes factors such as the emergence of Christian Zionism, the decline of influence of "Arabists" in the State Department, US geopolitical interests in the region and the institutionalization of the never-ending "peace process."

According to our sources, the Palestinian cell members were planning to infiltrate northern Sinai from the Gaza strip over the coming weekend and strike American personnel serving with the Multinational Force and Observers Organization – MFO, which is under American command and is stationed at North Camp, El Gorah, 37 kilometers southeast of El-Arish.
In a coordinated operation, Al Qaeda fighters hiding up in the mountains of central Sinai were to have attacked US Marines and Air Force troops stationed at the South Camp in Naama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh.
"Since Hamas took control of Gaza, officials have employed mathematical formulas to monitor goods from aid groups entering the Strip to ensure amount was in line with what Israel permitted."
-
The formulas used coefficients and a formulation for "breathing space," a term used by COGAT authorities to refer to the number of days remaining until a certain supply runs out in Gaza, to determine allowed quantities.
Israel eased the trade embargo - but it's bringing some Palestinian businesses to their knees
"An aid ship carrying 8 Jewish activists from Europe, Israel, and the US is less than 24 hours from reaching Gazan coastal waters."
"Only 19% of Americans believe Israel is to blame for clash aboard Gaza-bound aid ship Mavi Marmara last week."
"At the top of Israel's political and military systems stand two men, Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu, who are behind the brutal attack on the Gaza flotilla that shocked the world but that seemed to be hailed as a pure act of self-defence by the Israeli public. "
-
At one time, Ehud Barak was Benjamin Netanyahu's commanding officer in the Israeli equivalent of the SAS. More precisely, they served in a similar unit to the one sent to assault the Turkish ship last week.
"Gilad Atzmon, a British writer and musician who was born in Israel and served in the Israeli army, believes that the raid will lead the world to see what Israel is all about"
"Anger over support for Israel in addition to political stagnation and economic instability could undermine Egypt's president"
"After carefully studying the eyewitness accounts, it can be concluded that "the fighting" on the Gaza Peace Flotilla between heavily armed Israeli commandos and unarmed civilians was deliberately instigated by the Israeli military."
