2. Why does Israel need such expensive weapons systems
John ,   Toronto   (10.20.16)
The Palestinians don't have any.
3. Scriptures indicates Egypt will become uninhabitable for 40
Rivkah   (10.20.16)
years which means something will make Egypt radioactive and some believe that will be the nuking of the Aswan dam. So I hope General President Al Sisi puts a missile defense system there as a protection.
4. Egyptian/American
Aiman ,   Jersey   (10.20.16)
I can understand your worries but I think it's safe to say that Egypt doesn't want war with Israel not the people and for sure not the army. I personally am very happy to see our countries working closely I think it can a great benefit to the region. We all have read articles about how the govt is even changing school books and talking of Israel not as an enemy but a neighbor these are all positive signs day by day Egyptian are realizing that you guys are not our enemy maybe a competitor but not as an enemy and that's great maybe in a generation or two our kids can actually play together.
5. IS Russia the answer?
Avi L.   (10.21.16)
While everybody is gloating over Putin's "friendship" and "collaboration" and "good will", Russia is quietly going back to its old USSR's geopolitical self, back before 1974 when Egypt changed sides and started buying american.

In Egyptian "politics" it's either Islam or "kill the Jews" (or both of them with Morsi) in order to counterbalance the country social problems.

So in order to justify their staying in power, egyptians governments (military) had to open public life to the islamists after the peace process with Israel.

Egyptian military is simply taking over the country, like what the iranian RG already did with the technology part of economy. And what want military people if not new and more weapons? And when they feel mighty want they want to do?

Problem is that our most recent politicians are riveted to the next opinion poll and not on the long term existence and peace of the country.

Who pays for all these weapons? Who's got all this cash available if not the oil dictators? Could be a Saudi war ruse, but who would disturb the Saudis who are keeping cheap oil running?
6. Egypts futue.
Arn. ,   Sweden   (10.23.16)
Dan.chap.11. vers -42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and ofsilver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps

Comment - The Al-Mahdi, Rising in IRAK, will overtake Saudi-Arabia and after that, with help of Ethiopia and Libya Egypt also.

So . Egypt need Moore Military Equipment than what it got.

Arn.Sweden.
