to mediate the deals, egypt has played a critical role what has changed is the dynamics, the ally of the west and the de facto ally of israel is no longer in power and the egyptians became an entity and that changed a lot of the dynamics and that has changed the way it has been playing out here on the ground. the frame work of what is transpiring here, that is what has changed at this point. most certainly, given the fact that it is a young government, it has in one sense past that first critical test. thank you very much indeed. >> welcome to you. >> thank you for having me. >> can you you outline what you believe the spirit of this agreement to be today? it is an arrangement that has been with the support of the united states and it promises us the people of southern israel peace and quiet. that they no longer have to fear rockets coming in. the promise of the possibility to live a normal life. >> i understand that it promises the people of gaza a better future we are hearing by the "new york times" that the terms stayed that under lying grievances the border restrictions the movement of pe

egypt and israel after the arab spring, and after the fact that hosni mubarak, who was a staunch ally of the west and is no longer in power. and now the egyptians became an entity because of the fact they are led by the muslim brotherhood, became an entity significantly closer to the hamas leadership here in gaza. that really changed a lot of the dynamics and the way we've been seeing things play out on the ground. the dynamics of what is transpiring that led to the cease-fire, we'll have to wait and see if it holds. that is what has changed, most certainly, egypt, given the fact it is a very young government, has at least for now proven itself. in one sense it has passed that critical test. >> arwa damon, thank you very much. here now with a view from jerusalem the israeli government spokesperson. welcome to you. >> thanks for having me. >> can you outline exactly what you believe the spirit of this agreement to be today? >> it's an arrangement that has been negotiated with egypt and with the support of the united states, and it promises us what this whole campaign was about. it promises the peo

whoever was hoping that ousting mubarak, who was an ally of the west and the united states for 30 yearsu would get democracy in egypt, i think got a very... very ominous signal yesterday by the acts of president morsi. the people of egypt who went to tahrir square against mubarak, tathey didn't go because of the israeli/palestinian conflict. they went because they wanted freedom, education and jobs -- now it seems that that has been taken away from them. >> listen, we are definitely -- pardon me. there is a time delay there. i am going to thank you, ambassador for your expertese, i am sure we will be talking to you quite a bit in the days and weeks and months to come. thank you very much, sir. >> thank you. >> let me be very clear. i have great respect for senator mccain and his service to our country. i always have and i always will. i do think that some of the statements he has made about me have been unfounded. but i look forward to having the opportunity at the appropriate time to discuss all of this with him. >> eric: that was u.n. ambassador, susan rice on wednesday, responding to

so when the american soldiers arrived, the british allies and the axis forces -- the idea in testing each other, which was about 60 miles west of alexandria, close enough to alexandria, which was the british naval center in egypt, close enough to cairo, to be very dangerous and i think extremely frightening to all of the allies. beyond that where the middle eastern oil fields. and just as they are now, they were critical to the british war effort. it was a very tense moment and an important moment. on september 3, they steamed up the red sea and into the suez canal. they went off to their training camps to prepare for battle along the line. another bit of background. in doing research for this book, i was lucky enough to go to egypt and tunisia and england. and i went to see this line. it looks like every other part of the egyptian desert, which is to say that it was sandy and flat and rocky. you cannot imagine why this would be the point where the two armies came to a halt. the reason is it was blocked on the north by the mediterranean sea. on the south, there was kind of a marsh area which it is impossible for heavy vehicl

in the eyes of the west they are a terrorist organization but this is not the view shared by as long as the leaders. they are a close ally of the egyptians and all the islamic countries in the neighborhood where fundamentalist governments have come into power. we have seen an upgrading of hamas and the egyptian position. the clear loser is really the israeli government because netanyahu has not gotten anything. he meant for this war to be a test for a strike against iran later next year. if that is truly the case, it is really a disaster politically speaking for the israeli leadership. they have not really gained anything and support for israel is dwindling, even in germany. >> what has this revealed about the capabilities of the palestinians and their political unity? >> unity is difficult to achieve in this region. you have two separate entities, the gaza strip controled by hamas and the west bank which is controlled by the more moderate wing of the palestinians. it is almost impossible to travel from gaza to the west bank or vice versa. it is difficult to achieve palestinian unity and ideologically, they are at a diff

laws of the same yet the west isn't satisfied with them in some arab countries and turns a blind eye to their violations in other arab countries are the ones that are its allies. which doesn't bridge the gap between people and the actual lawmakers in many countries people have no say when it comes to adopting was the decisions are made at the top but the reaction might be positive or negative. but that meant that we've been watching protests taking place in latin america and africa as well as in europe and the so-called developed countries. were the reasons for the people in these developed countries to come out into the streets to voice their anger against the very government that it's supposed to represent them the reasons of the same that led to uprisings in north africa and the middle east very often these public protests get distorted in the media and portrayed as a violation of public order that has to be suppressed and punished. staggering video footage of brutal police responses in many of these countries and they're the countries that take pride in their democratic system their freedom of speech and people's right to self-determination and money and

when the arab spring happened, how much is america willing to do, with our allies in the west and n.a.t.oy. i do think we fell short on that or didn't advertise much of what they did and the efforts fell apart. >> dave: and you can't blame the obama administration for tension between hamas and israel, but charles krauthammer did discussion that the praise that president obama heaped on president morsi may have led to what we saw, that power grab. initially hillary clinton was very complimentary of what morsi and his government did in the cease-fire and susan rice not piled on, but jumped on and complimentary of morsi and should they have been so quick to heap praise on a man we really know nothing about. >> well, perhaps morsi was planning to do something like this or wanted to do something like this all along and that was his target of opportunity, wow i've had my name in the spotlight and i've been seen as a person who helped solve this and i'm now the savior, i think it's hard to imagine that just those words from the past 28 hours or 48 hours, really made that big a difference, but th
