Opposition group sent a letter to Obama, Sadrists will reject the amended SOFA

- As reported on Moheet, Iraqi Consultants Council opposition group sent a letter to Obama saying that the group does not recognize the current sectarian government because it came to power based on a sectarian election. The group also asked Obama not follow Bush’s footsteps in Iraq.

- Sadrists confirmed that they do not trust Obama’s promise of change, Sadrist MP Lika’a Al Yaseen said:

The Sadrists cannot count on one person in the White House, we can’t see the U.S. other than an occupation country invaded Iraq.

Probably these doubts are true, because Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported that Iraqis are worried about George Biden option of dividing Iraqi into three regions.

- Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad received a letter from Muqtada Al-Sadr handed over by a a Sadrists delegation who met with the Al-Assad and said:

The Sadrists reject this security agreement, and managed to gather 90 MP’s oppose this agreement in the Iraqi parliament.

After the meeting the meeting, the Sadrists delegation held a press conference reported by Al-SharqAwsat Al- saying:

The security agreement will not see the light, even with the amendments. One article in the agreement says: “the U.S. will not seek to attack neighboring countries”, this is an elastic word and this is a very fragile article.

- An American military source told Al-Hayat the true story of the U.S. raid on Syria which is mismatching the U.S. military official version:

The raid targeted a key Iraqi person ” Badran Hisham” aka “Said Al-Kurdi” , who smuggles gunmen across the Syrian - Iraqi borders.

- Iraqi source from the Iraqi intelligence service told Iraqalaan that Chalabi is politically bankrupt who doesn’t have an official position in the parliament or the government, used by regional and foreign powers as a tool.

Hamas snipers

Egyptian initiative full of "mines"
I don’t know if the points of the Egyptian initiative are reported somewhere in English or not, but here is the Al-Watan's Arabic version.

Arab law experts on Aljazeera rejected this initiative saying: It is full of “mines” and Israeli biased. Former ambassador and international law expert Abdullah Al-Asha'l comment on the first point saying:

What does “cease-fire for limited time” means? Does this mean that Israel can resume the genocide once again after this “limited time”? And for sure this period will be decided by Israel.

Egypt's expected demonstration and the magic number
Egyptian writer Fahmi Howeidi says:

High rank officials gave instructions to all government controlled “media kitchen” to attack Hamas, Damascus, Hezbollah, Iran and Qatar.

Atwan wrote on Al-Quds Al-Arabi:

The [Egyptian] ruling party wants to prevent the pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which shows the Egyptian public responding to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who called out the Egyptians to pressure the government and force it to open Rafah-Crossing.

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhoods announced tomorrow - Friday as a demonstration day and for the first time Kefaya Movement will join also. Can they achieve the dream number of Million demonstrators tomorrow?

The rejection of the Egyptian initiative
As expected the Palestinian resistance groups reject the Egyptian – French initiative, which is also rejected by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhoods saying:

The U.S. directly accepted this initiative is very suspicious.

But according to Al-Manar, even Israel has its own reservation, saying that Israel wants to amend seven points in this initiative.

Egyptian opposition writer Ibrahim Issa in his article “A new Egyptian initiative contains everything old” says:

The only thing new in the Egyptian initiative is that it successfully managed to reduce the international anger against Israel after the bombed the UN school in Gaza.

Turkey: No contacts with Israel before cease-fire
Turkish newspaper quoted sources close to Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying that the Turkish Prime Minister refused to respond to a telephone call from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Erdogan stressed that he would not respond before the end of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The newspaper added that the Israeli ambassador "Gaby Levy" in Ankara requested an urgent meeting with Erdogan, but the latter refused to meet him, telling him through his aides that Israel must ends the offensive in Gaza first.

This is also confirmed by the Turkish daily Hurriyat:

No contact with Israel is under consideration unless this condition is fulfilled.

Saudi funded militia
Very funny, as if there are not enough militias in Lebanon.

Saudi funded Shiite militia man and cleric declares that his organization has 3000 fighters, he also have a missile called "Arabsim".

Video - Turkish public attack Israeli sport team
Video clip of Turkish public attack the Israeli basketball team, chanting Gaza support slogans.

Jordan’s conspiracy theory
One day before Nasrallah speech saying "The Scheme is to Give West-Bank to Jordan, Gaza to Egypt" [speech in English, Arabic], Al-manar also reported the same agenda.

Even Abdullah the King of Jordan warned of such conspiracy. Jordanian analyst Mohammed Abu Rooman accepts the King's argument saying that Israel wants to impose a new "de facto" in the region connecting Gaza with Egypt and the West-Bank with Jordan.

A very good read on Islam today, asking “Jordan..Will Gaza change its relation with Israel?” saying:

Jordan wants to shift its position away from the Egypt – Saudi Arabia alliance…This started by removing the Head of the Jordanian Intelligence which is probably related to Gaza…Jordan is sure that the current battle will never topple Hamas.
