Imagine this! "Egypt’s leading business organization has praised Cairo’s plans to import natural gas from Israel, saying that doing so will 'yield many
benefits.' In another sign of the burgeoning security and commercial ties
between the two countries since Abdel Fattah el Sisi became president of
Egypt in 2014, the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI) said that
that the deal with Israel would reduce import costs by relying on
pipelines already installed by East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), the
company that had supervised Egyptian gas exports to Israel before they
were halted following the 2011 uprising that led to a Muslim
Brotherhood government."
We now have a business partnership between the former enemies Egypt and Israel; and enemies between the former friends (the United States and Israel.) Plus you have a president who's fighting an oil pipeline that would "yield many benefits" to his own country. I think I need a scorecard.
