Barry’s secret $8 billion deal

The fall of Egpt’s Muslim Brotherhood took with it an $8 billion secret deal with the White House for the Brotherhood to hand over 40 percent of the Sinai to Gaza’s Hamas rulers, according to JoshuaPundit’s reading of a French Canadian report on Arab news media.

“There’s no question either than Morsi and the Brotherhood would sign off on the deal, since they needed the money and since their loyalty is to the Brotherhood and the making of the Caliphate rather than Egypt per se. The deal would also be a step towards integrating Hamasistan with Egypt, something else Morsi and his friends were very interested in. So the deal was a win-win for both sides.”

Was a win-win. Was. It would have expanded Gaza enormously, though the expansion would have been mostly sand and rocks. Now the sand and rocks will remain part of Egypt, courtesy of the IDF whose proviso is that Egyptian military does its best to keep it terrorist-free.

    This, if true, is one that deserved it more than most.

  3. Not sure I buy into this story. Even a deranged chief of MB would be afraid to cede part of the sovereign Egypt territory. But who knows, weirder things happened.

    Sovereign Egyptian territory conquered by Israel after the Egyptians invaded. Won fair and square, in other words, and now only theirs by IDF fiat. Besides, Morsi was overthrown by the military, true enough, but only after the largest known demonstrations in world history. To draw that many millions of haters, he obviously had not been too concerned about his public reputation.
