Israel says they will start bombing Gaza tomorrow if Islamic leaders enter Gaza! >>> After 45-year exile, Hamas leader Khaled Meshal arrives in Gaza Meshal welcomed by Hamas PM Haniyeh and Fatah representatives on his first-ever visit to the Strip; Meshal to reporters: I ask God to give me martyrdom one day on this land. The 56-year-old leader will spend barely 48 hours in the coastal enclave and attend a mass rally on Saturday that has been billed as both a commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the founding of Hamas and a "victory" celebration after its recent war with Israel. Israel and Hamas are observing a truce that ended eight days of cross-border fighting in November, which was brokered by Egypt. Two members of Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad said Thursday that Egypt had relayed warnings that Israel would consider the Gaza truce over if the leaders of Islamic Jihad entered Gaza with Meshal. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the issue with the media. Israel's Defense Ministry had no immediate comment.

The diplomatic sources say defense contractors hired by the US and its European allies have recently conducted training exercises with Syrian rebel forces in Turkey and Jordan. The programs were intended to prepare brigades to handle chemical weapons sites and materials they might encounter, as Assad troops lose control of over parts of the country. US contractors have also been on the ground in Syria to monitor the status of regime stockpiles, said an employee with a major US defense consultancy that has been engaged in that work. “They’re probably trying to provide near real-time surveillance at all these sites. There’s no point in limiting yourself,” said Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. [link to alpha.syriadeeply.org] |

There will never be peace between the arab/islam and the west, neither, never. So why would we want to invade and put the live of our soldiers in danger, in a very successfull civil arab war ? Nobody wants to rule over an arab territory. Nobody sane would want to go there ? So, the question: why would they want to invade ? |
