Summary:
Egypt’s national security may be threatened by the Palestine
branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Hamas. Ties between Egypt and Hamas have
been slowly disintegrating since last July. Due to the nationwide protest to
get rid of President Mohamed Morsi through military force, there have been
issues between the two countries. Hamas believes that the demolition of the
tunnels was a strategy to tighten the “siege” and not security. Egypt’s militants
have become stricter in the Sinai Peninsula. A Muslim Brotherhood leader was
accused of stealing weapons from a police station; while three militants were
found with a sniper rifle and ammunition. On Monday the court will make the
decision to ban the brotherhood and their activities in Egypt. They have also
shut down the headquarters of Al-Hurriya Wal Adala newspaper, which is the
mouth of the organization
Analysis:
It seems as if most of the destruction and conflict has been
caused by the Muslim Brotherhood. The issues have finally escalated to violence
in both Hamas and Egypt. Due to the power within the Egyptian militant, it is
clear that Egypt has the advantage. Through observations, Hamas has a better
strategy than Egypt that may allow them to overcome in the end. The U.S. will
possibly interfere in time. The war between the two countries is far from over,
it has just begun. The question is, how far will it go? Is it a war that can be
won?
