Because there is something that you also find offshore the beach of Gaza : gas.

I think your confusing your Mediterranean islands Sky.

No, the Turks last week repeated their claims for both. They threatened Malta and Israel with military force by their navy, openly led claim for "the Eastern Mediterranean", and of course imply their claim for Cyprus (from which they also may operate). I do not know how far-reaching the gas fields are that were found in the Eastern Mediterranean, they reach from the coast of Gaza/Israel to somehwere in the West and Northwest, obviously.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will stick to its peace treaty with Egypt despite the attack on its embassy in Cairo.

He was speaking after protesters stormed the Israeli embassy on Friday, prompting the evacuation of nearly all Israeli diplomatic staff.

Egypt is on alert after the attack, in which three people died as security forces fought rioters in Cairo.

Cairo says those involved in the attack will be tried in an emergency court.

Anti-Israeli feeling rose after violence on the Gaza border last month.

Forget that, I want to hear about the Turkish threats against Malta and the destruction of the Maltese navy base.

You mean ammunition explosion on cyprus i guess?

Well ... not really.
There are supposedly a small gas field near Gaza and some smaller ones which are not economically worth development but its not real issue here.
There had been many report about possible finds which turned out to be economically risky till the one to the north.
There is only one small gas field which Israel exploits.


Run some Google -Israeli economic newspaper has a mention of possible development of Gaza gas in face of crisis with Egypt but ...nothing serious.
There is also issue of the money funding terror.

These guys seem to be forgetting what happened the last time they picked a fight with Israel. I guess the IAF could use some live target practice.

Ask Sky, it was pointed out that he was getting confused but as usual he is saying he is still right so there must be some secret explosions and secret threats that no one else has heard about.

If, there would be a war between Israel and Egypt. It would not be a 1973 war. A war between western technologies and russian technologies

After the peacetreaty, Egypt became a good friend to USA and have bought lots of military technologies.

So it would be a very modern warfare, where both having modern fighters and up-to-date weaponary.

Me, my self, sincerely hope, that there will be peace in this area. I know that 99% of the population down there, don't have problems living with each other.
