Israel watches Mubarak ouster with trepidation

Ian Deitch
How will the Egyptian revolution upset the sensitive politics next door?
Thousands of Egyptian anti-government protesters march Alexandria, Egypt, Friday, Feb. 11, 2011. Egypt's military threw its weight Friday behind President Hosni Mubarak's plan to stay in office through September elections while protesters fanned out to the presidential palace in Cairo and other key symbols of the authoritarian regime in a new push to force the leader to step down immediately. The statement by the Armed Forces Supreme Council - its second in two days - was a blow to many protesters who had called on the military to take action to push out Mubarak after his latest refusal to step down.

Opposition supporters shout in their stronghold of Tahrir Square, in Cairo February 10, 2011. President Hosni Mubarak provoked rage on Egypt's streets on Thursday when he said he would hand powers to his deputy but disappointed protesters who had been expecting him to step down altogether after two weeks of unrest. "Leave! Leave!" chanted thousands who had gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square in anticipation that a televised speech would be the moment their demands for an end to Mubarak's 30 years of authoritarian, one-man rule were met.

Reactions to the uprising in Egypt are predictably all over the place
General view of anti-government demonstrators gathered at Tahrir Square in Cairo February 2, 2011. Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak, throwing petrol bombs, wielding sticks and charging on horses and camels, fiercely attacked demonstrators in Cairo on Wednesday after the army told protesters to clear the streets. Anti-Mubarak protesters hurled stones back and said the attackers were police in plain clothes, a charge the Interior Ministry denied; the Egyptian government rejected international calls for the leader to end his 30-year-rule now.
