Israeli siege on Gaza,and Hamas's catastrophic policies lead to Plalestinian ' people suffering, Egypt has been thrown into the eye of the hurricane on both Arab and international levels. The country has been embroiled in a crisis at the hands of Hamas.
Egypt's sternness regarding the closure of the Rafah border crossing will cause it to be perceived as an accomplice to Israel in besieging the Palestinians:however ,opening the crossing will implicate it with the international community as it would implicity mean that Egypt accepts Isamel Haniyah's government.Therfore ,Hamas,led by Khaled Meshaal, has imposed the present reality upon Cairo without rectifying its coup.
This is why Egypt is now trapped; because Hamas decided to escape by moving forward and elevating international pressure from Israel by embroiling Egypt.It imposed a reality of Egyptian-Palestinian confrontation instead of Palestinian-Israeli confrontation: today, the whole World is more concerned about the crisis of the Rafah crossing and Egypt than about the [Israeli] siege on Gaza.
There was a state of confusion in dealing with the Hamas issue since the cases is not confined to Hamas alone ; rather , it involves those who support it. Hamas could carry out political roles that topple the legitimate Palestinian Authority and put the Arab countries in a difficult political position .
