30th August, 2012
Les Occidentaux ont sous-estimé le retour de l’Égypte sur la scène internationale. Ils n’ont pas vu non plus l’échec du « containement » de l’Iran et l’habile diplomatie de Téhéran pour ôter les Frères musulmans de l’influence saoudienne. Alfredo Jalife décrit cette évolution rapide qui change en partie la donne proche-orientale.

US CIA chief Petraeus arrives Monday to cool Israeli ire
Posted by seumasach on September 3, 2012
Israel does not expect anything useful to come out of the Petraeus visit – or even any alleviation of the bad feeling between Binyamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama. High-placed officials in Jerusalem were of the view that the CIA chief fits the US president’s bill at this time. His visit is a non-binding gesture of goodwill for Israel which does not require the White House or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey to backtrack or apologize for his derogatory remarks about the IDF’s capacity for taking Iran on. Another advantage is that any words passing between the CIA chief and Israeli leaders may be classified.

President Barack Obama is sending CIA Director David Petraeus to Israel in a hurry Monday, Sept. 3, in an attempt to quench the flames of discord between Israel and his administration on the Iran issue. He will fly in from a visit to Ankara Sunday, where too he faces recriminations for US handling of the Syrian crisis.

Libyan Interior Minister “I Will Not Stop Islamist Violence”

1st September, 2012
After a completely meaningless resignation, Libya’s Interior Minister has finally come clean and is saying that the police will not in any way interfere with Islamist violence. Most newspapers are not carrying his full remarks and their real implications.
Interior minister Fawzi Abdel A’al initially offered his resignation on Saturday after he was criticized for not doing enough to stop the Tripoli assault, which took place in broad daylight in the center of the city as security forces looked on.

Al-Qaeda flags fly over rebel-held Syria
Posted by seumasach on September 2, 2012
But observations made by German journalist Daniel Etter during a recent visit to rebel-controlled towns near the embattled city of Aleppo suggest that there is no mere “presence” of jihadists among the rebels: religiously-inspired mujahideen is what the rebels are. The real question is whether there is a presence of anything else.

There has recently been a small stir in the American media, as media organizations from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal to the Associated Press have finally gotten around to acknowledging a “presence” of al-Qaeda and like-minded jihadist groups among the Syrian rebel forces seeking to topple the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
