Mursi secured aid & credits from countries and institutions.
He needs US aid unlocked in Congress, Egypt has short-term financial problems, tourism is an important income for Egypt and it has plumpeted.

What's this all about with "Gaza truce" we'll see in future and what effects it has on Mursi within Egypt.
Not that they hang him in Tahrir.

Oh but Hillary brokered it so we should all fall all over ourselves just heaping praise on her. How soon we forget her negligence in ramping up security in Lybia on 9/11.

 

[there4eyeM]

Both sides are supposed to have agreed to 'quiet for quiet'(?).

 

[MarcATL]

And hamas went a executin' and a blowin' up buses in preparation for it after agreeing to it, 24hrs ago.

 

[beretta304]

All these years while she sat on her fat ass we could have used her to help peace break out all over the world.

What a pity. Who would have "thunk" it?

 

[toomuchtime_]

Very disappointing. Clearly, Netanyahu is not the leader Israel needs at this time, still he remains the best of what's available.
