Foreign Event Analysis

Locale		Egypt
Title		More Problems in the Middle East
Summary		Egypt and Turkey are seeking an alliance to calm down Israel. The State of Israel shot down a humanitarian frigate bringing in food supplies to the blockaded Gaza strip. As well the death of six Egyptian soldiers on the Israeli-Egyptian border.
Analysis		These three nations and other have been at war for years. There have been around four Arab-Israeli wars. With the U.S wanting to ensure no more wars as well settle their own issues, Israel would not be able to win any more battles. Egypt and Turkey had been many wars before Israel and know how to fight. As a neighbor within the Middle East Israel must respect the other States.
