“Israeli” Fears Increase as Anti-Regime Uprisings Sweep Across Region
Siraj Kobeissy
As the boot of tyranny stepped on the freedoms of the Tunisians, a revolution was met in the essence of jasmine filling the air, displaying a peaceful revolution in which they demanded their rights.
A wave of freedom movement shocked the "Israeli" stability, and as the "Israel"-allied Tunisian regime collapsed, "Israelis" expected that the Tunisian revolution, which led to the departure of the country's tyrant Zein Al Abidin Bin Ali, would occur to many other Arab leaders.
Egypt was the first to hear the call, launching a one of a kind uprising in the history of the country. Egyptians never got tired of asking for their freedom to live a life of liberty, and not a life of slavery.
The goal was accomplished, and finally the Egyptian streets roared with celebrations for the resignation of their tyrant president Hosni Mubarak.
"Israeli" streets on the other hand were unstable, words of tension spread across the annexed Palestinian territories, "Without Egypt, "Israel" Will be Left with No Friends in the Middle East", wrote Aluf Benn in the Zionist daily Haaretz.
Meanwhile, the contagious Jasmine Revolution is starting to sweep across other regional countries in a domino effect, including Bahrain, Yemen, and Libya, where hundreds of innocent people are killed daily by the dictator regimes refusing to leave their people in peace.
While Lebanon has witnessed a rather calm situation compared to other Arab countries, in his latest speech, Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned "Israel" against any war launched on Lebanon, saying the resistance is ready to occupy the Palestinian Galilee, or in other words to liberate it.
Although the "Israelis" know the equation will be implemented only with a foolishness of their own, another threat to the "Israeli" security was piled onto their list, this time on the northern borders of the occupied territories, where the enemy supplied its front with a maintenance team and recruited more troops to that front, fearing any "Hizbullah attack".
"Israel" now fears more than the loss of its allies, precisely after the loss of Mubarak's Egypt and Bin Ali's Tunisia.
In this context, Lebanese Strategic Expert and Retired General Elias Hanna said that so far we cannot talk about "Israel" losing Egypt, for the Egyptian army kept its adherence to the Camp David Treaty.
General Hanna on the other hand added in an interview with Moqawama.org, "However, the problem is that the situation will not be as it used to be, and not only regarding Egypt, but what is going on in the whole region, for it is a major transformation and puts pressures and problems not only on "Israel", but on the United States [US] as well".
Furthermore, the Retired General pointed out that both, the US and "Israel", have to seek new strategies to deal with these regional developments, on their different levels of perspectives, goals, approaches and capabilities.
"For "Israel" the consequences are totally direct, because of geography and proximity, where they [geography and proximity] play a major role. As for the US, they have the leverage of time and space, so we have to wait and see", General Elias Hanna stated.
The strategic expert affirmed, "I think now Egypt is changing, Lebanon is changing, and the whole region is changing, and I think from political approach, "Israel" has to change or adapt".
According to Hanna, the "Israeli" change depends on what is going to happen in Jordan, where it plays a major issue, after which "Israel" will have to build a different strategy on the military or political levels.
As ups and downs in the region entail a vague destiny, General Elias Hanna said that today, the level of uncertainties is very high.
Regarding the Lebanese-"Israeli" situation in light of the recent regional developments, General Hanna said, "As far as Lebanon is concerned, the front between Lebanon and occupied Palestine is a permanent one, and there is nothing new so far after 2006".
He stated, "Nothing is new regarding preparations of the resistance, and as well of "Israel", because enmity is already present".
Elias Hanna believed that the major turning point would be if the Camp David Treaty was omitted, which on its part will awaken the Arab countries, Arab armies, and Arab nations against "Israel", referring to it as the major threat to "Israel".
"This will put a lot of burden on "Israel" and the US", the Strategic Expert Hanna pointed out in reference to an overall Arab awakening against the "Israeli" enemy.
It is about time that the Arab community rises against the tyrants which were proven to be of a US and "Israeli" political methodology. It is time for the Arab nations to stand up for their rights to live the liberated life they've longed for throughout decades of oppression under the reign of tyrants.
