This won't be covered by any U.S. news media because the muslim brotherhood, whom Obama supported, has been obliterated in Egypt. This is another failure for him, like every other thing he touches. Now Egypt is planning on doing the same thing to Hamas by squeezing tunnels to Palestine. You go Egypt! CAIRO (Reuters) - After crushing the Muslim Brotherhood at home, Egypt's military rulers plan to undermine the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which runs the neighboring Gaza Strip, senior Egyptian security officials told Reuters. The aim, which the officials say could take years to pull off, includes working with Hamas's political rivals Fatah and supporting popular anti-Hamas activities in Gaza, four security and diplomatic officials said. Since it seized power in Egypt last summer, Egypt's military has squeezed Gaza's economy by destroying most of the 1,200 tunnels used to smuggle food, cars and weapons to the coastal enclave, which is under an Israeli blockade. Now Cairo is becoming even more ambitious in its drive to eradicate what it says are militant organizations that threaten its national security. Intelligence operatives, with help from Hamas's political rivals and activists, plan to undermine the credibility of Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007 after a brief civil war against the Fatah movement led by Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. According to the Egyptian officials, Hamas will face growing resistance by activists who will launch protests similar to those in Egypt that have led to the downfall of two presidents since the Arab Spring in 2011. Cairo plans to support such protests in an effort to cripple Hamas. "Gaza is next," said one senior security official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "We cannot get liberated from the terrorism of the Brotherhood in Egypt without ending it in Gaza, which lies on our borders."

If this works, PLO will win thge elections in Gaza and make a peace agreemnet with Israel a real option. Israel will supply Egypt with Intel and let what needs to be done - be done.
We can all hope that this will happen. I hope it brings about a warmer peace with our cousins . I just don't understand why the US is so against Egypt standing against Islamic terrorists.
The MB should have purged every single high-ranking Egyptian officer. It wouldn't have happened, but still.
What Egypt did to the muslim brotherhood is real progress. You really don't understand it? Saudi Arabia owns Barack's butt. They/Hillary/politicians obviously have been investing in the MB for quite some time. So proud of Egypt.
