Israel fears a new Islamic Revolution

With another day of mass demonstrations in Egypt, the international community is beginning to worry about the situation of the Arab country, vulnerability and the possible introduction of fundamentalist Government. In this context, Israel expressed concern because the Egyptian Islamists take power when, in September leave the current president Hosni Mubarak and question the peace treaty of 1979 Israeli-Egyptian, which could transform the regional landscape.

Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is a democracy and it supports progress in the Mideast, but fears that current events can be transformed into an illegal seizure of government, as happened at some time in Iran, which became part of the enemies of the state Israel after the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

The Islamic Revolution was the process that led to the overthrow of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1941-1979) and the subsequent establishment of the Islamic Republic, in force on Iran. The Muslim Brothers are another concern in the political conflict. This organization is opposed by the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and the traditional goal of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sunni trend is to establish an Islamic state in Egypt based on Muslim law and rejection of Western influence in the country, religion and state are inseparable.

They are thus pioneers of political Islam in the Arab world. Sen. John McCain, among other U.S. lawmakers, has warned of the threat would be for the stability of Egypt and the region the group Muslim Brotherhood, according to McCain, "is a radical organization that supports Hamas." Leslie Gelb, an advisor to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), ensures that a possible rise to power of the Islamist group would be "disastrous for U.S.

security," and would not allow Western involvement in the country.
