Israel anxious over Egypt's Islamic wave
MAHMOUD MOHEY SAMAR SAMIR Published in Youm7 on 05 - 12 - 2011

JERUSALEM: The Israeli government is worried over Islamist trends winning in the first phase of the parliamentary elections in Egypt.
The situations in Egypt and the Arab Region is a real threat against Israeli security, especially after the overwhelming winning of Islamic trends in the Egyptian elections, according to the head of Home Front Command in the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Eyal Eisenberg.
Regarding Israeli preparations for the coming challenges, Eisenberg said the changes affected the civil defense program, according to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharanot. He added the civil defense is alert and prepared for all possible scenarios.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will cancel the economic decision of cutting U.S. $3 billion from the Ministry of Defense's budget in 2011, according to senior officials in the Israeli government.
The cancellation of the decision was due to the situation in Egypt and the Middle East, according to Israeli newspaper Haatez.
Israeli Prime Minister said the infiltration through the Israeli-Egyptian borders threatens Israeli security, economy, society and demography.
He added during the cabinet meeting on Sunday December 1 about how he visited Eilat a few days ago and listed the residents' complaints about the flow of thousands of illegal infiltrators. He pointed out other Israeli borders and entrances have the same problem.
Thus, Netanyahu ordered to finish the building of the Egypt-Gaza barrier within a year.
He also ordered to create a stricter fine on those who employ the infiltrators and said the Israeli government should protect its borders.
Meanwhile, the Israeli newspapers launched a fierce attack on Egypt because of the Egyptian parliamentary elections, in which Islamist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Freedom and Justice Party and the Salafist al-Nour Party won a large amount of votes.
The Israeli authors made comparison about the Egyptian January 25 Revolution to the Iranian revolution. These newspapers include Maariv, Yediot Aharanot, and Haartez.
