Nations Race To Defuse Crisis Between Egypt And Israel

Were the Arab attackers in Sinai against IDF Forces from Gaza or Egypt proper and does it matter? In Israel's defense, reports indicated the attackers were dressed in Egyptian Army uniforms probably led to the warplane mistake but we fear this could become a real crisis in the area because a limited military conflict benefits all sides. ... "Diplomats scrambled to avert a crisis in relations between Egypt and Israel on Saturday, and the Israeli government issued a rare statement of regret for the killing of three Egyptian security officers by an Israeli warplane." While Washington and London might want to temporarily delay military actions we doubt Israel or Egypt really want to avert a crisis. – NY Times
