how possible is it in your opinion that they might have been incited from outside. i think we can safely discard foreign involvement as a factor these are purely internal affairs after they began however other countries definitely became concerned about what was happening of course i was in washington d.c. when the riots in egypt began with meeting with state department officials we had a bilateral meeting on the middle east settlement i saw that my american counterparts were really shocked by the scale to which the events in egypt had escalated and incidentally the cia and other intelligence agencies were quickly criticized for not predicting the possibility of such an rest almost immediately though they became very active and president obama called mubarak several times he was still president mubarak at the time but they also maintained contact with general omar suleiman the u.s. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff maintain contact with his counterpart in

egypt in all the channels were immediately activated even former diplomats who were well connected in cairo flew over to egypt to help the embassy there why did the united states abandon mubarak so quickly and you know this was america's position from the very beginning in his conversations with mubarak president obama strongly recommended that president mubarak step down before september because mubarak said initially he would step down in september that was leaked to the media and reported by several u.s. newspapers gets at the same time it was clear that the u.s. found itself between a rock and a hard place on one hand it had to maintain its image of a country that supports democratic revolutions the rights in egypt for democratic not islamic there were no islamic slogans no green flags all people wanted was to put an end to corruption. and to allow normal economic growth to develop the

primary protest was against the regime so the us had to maintain his image by supporting the riots is on the other hand they had to do all they could to retain their influence in egypt and other countries the us strongly relied on the barracks regime in egypt and on ben ali's regime in tunisia so they were looking for a way out of this predicament at first they hoped that general suliman would remain in power this was obvious since hillary clinton said that he might be the interim ruler until the election then it turned out that people didn't like him because of his close ties with mubarak then the military stepped in. some say that the united states was actually happy to see unrest in egypt because it diverted attention from the flow of much of the nation of the know what do you mean it diverts attention from israel israel too is now facing serious problems due to the riots for instance

they've opened the rafa crossing in fact it was opened some time ago they just closed it during the crisis so now israel doesn't know what the new egyptian leadership will do whether they'll maintain the gaza blockade only sin eyesight along the egyptian border with i read an article in the wall street journal that said the military and intelligence communities in israel are in favor of preparing for re occupation of gholson at the same time many experts say that would put israel in a position where a large scale bloody war would be inevitable. so we can't say the situation was instigated by israel or that its purpose was to divert attention from israel this was a social explosion and that's the way we should view it more with this process is slightly different in different countries take bahrain for instance trying to percent of the country's population a sunni eighty percent to shia leadership all sunny. the muslims consider

themselves oppressed now they want to be represented in a coalition government they're in talks now and they may find a modus vivendi in bahrain in other countries the phenomenon is purely social sure islamic groups will take part in it but we have to differentiate between a minute we shouldn't paint everybody with the same black stick take the muslim brotherhood in egypt finster it is a movement that now wants to become a political party they already have twenty percent of seats in the parliament they're proposing a social program with the movement is actually a combination of different forces there was a very interesting story in a local newspaper about the muslim brotherhood having a youth wing and a women's women were these two groups detach themselves from the rest of the party and joined the protest is that to mean something we should not view the world in

black and white it is very unwise. for the call zones of a person still everybody is wondering if there is uprisings may islam assize the region instead of democratizing it. you name them we should know who i don't think that's possible let's look at what brought about the riots many people believe that all arab states sooner or later and up having an anti colonial revolution not so those revolutions are not just anti colonial they're directed against to authoritarianism regime and. also we probably underestimated the way new technology of frank's arab countries why did the rights happen in june is here in egypt because these are the most advanced arab countries the internet television and mobile phones helped organize people there is a youth group called the april sixth movement in egypt that has approximately

seventy thousand members of the movement is internet based these young people spearheaded the street protests when the internet was invented a long time ago why are these uprisings happening now and why are they happening in such close proximity you use the riots in egypt i think happened largely because people saw on television what was happening in shoe newseum you've put that so it's a domino effect i think so yes. he also mentioned that this uprising is with fact the israeli palestinian settlement do you think that new forces may emerge in the middle east and that they may be able to dominate the region. it is hard to say what is going to happen at the moment we've seen the statements made by the prime minister of the palestinian authority saying he is ready to form a coalition government with a mass that is also a repercussion of recent events at the same time it helped relieve pressure in the

region when the egyptian military which is currently the defacto government announced they would observe all the agreements previously so. mind working creating the nine hundred seventy nine treaty with israel nobody so it's hard to judge the situation right now and i can give a direct onset i think it will become clearer after time has passed in any case i think it might force the israeli leadership to give up their policy of maintaining the status quo in the middle east so far the israeli leadership has been leaning towards preserving status quo and abandoning the idea of a peaceful settlement despite numerous un security council resolutions and president obama's cairo speech israel kept building new settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem sabotaging all attempts at negotiation i think recent events may cause them to reconsider their policy because global trends and not in

favor of israel's anik sation policy would in fact they cannot really an ex the west bank in them if they were to annex the west bank israel will cease to be a nation state it will become a state of two nations and they realize that that's why they want the status quo they want to preserve the current state of affairs. when the series of uprising started some comparing them to the color revolutions even though these two things are very different what lesson can we learn from these uprisings in the arab world. one lesson we should learn that things a never completely calm they like to see always rippling and it's not just the israeli palestinian conflict or some other conflicts between various arab states

discontented people especially young people can also create waves they don't have any prospects for the future so they go out into the street they stayed. releasing terri a square and in similar places in arab countries this is something we have to take into account but thank you very much for this interview. that.
