Egypt, the US, the Middle East and Israel
By its geography and size, Egypt has enormous relevance for Israel, the Middle East, and for the United States. The proposed 2011 Egyptian presidential elections will mark a transition from President Mubarak to a new head of state, possibly his son, Gamal Mubarak. As those elections approach, clear understanding of Egypt’s recent history, relationship with the US and with Israel has much merit. Please find below several articles aimed at enriching an understanding of modern Egypt..Neither ISMI nor the Center for Israel Education, www.israeled.org endorses any of the assertions or conclusions presented. They are the views of the respective authors.
