As voters in Iraq finish a day of polling in a relatively calm day, tensions in the Middle East keep rising in other parts. After remarks from Iran’s Ahmadinejad regarding Israel created an upheaval in the global community, now the head of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has entered the scene with some similar remarks. Ahmadinejad also hosted the Hamas leader in Tehran a few days ago when both sides made remarks about the US and Israel. Moral support from the state sponsor of terrorism (read Iran) has created the right atmosphere for subdued fundamentalists from across the Middle East to step up their activities and media presence.

Mehdi Akef says he expects demise of Israel soon, its peace deal with Egypt should be put to referendum.

Egypt signed a peace agreement with Israel in 1979, becoming the first Arab country to establish diplomatic ties with the Jewish state.
TEHRAN,(Reuters) – Palestinian militant group Hamas will step up its attacks on Israeli targets if the Jewish state attacks its key ally in the region, Iran, Hamas chief-in-exile Khaled Meshaal said on Thursday. “If Israel attacks Iran then Hamas will widen and increase its confrontation of Israelis inside Palestine,” Meshaal told reporters in Tehran, where he has held three days of talks with top political and security officials.

Khalilzad rejected Interior Ministry officials’ suggestion that any mistreatment of prisoners had been mild, saying the abuse found was “far worse than slapping around.”
