Complicated web of relationships are strained as Israel bombards Gaza in retaliation to Hamas attack
and Gaza, has long had a complicated relationship with Hamas, not least due to its genesis as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. While Cairo signed a formal peace treaty with Israel in 1978 at Camp David, the Egyptian public has tended to be more pro-Palestinian than successive Egyptian regimes – save for the brief-lived government led by the Muslim Brotherhood that was toppled in 2013.
The attacks come after factions loyal to Iran have stepped up threats against the US. One of them, the Hezbollah Brigades, demanded that the US “leave” Iraq, “otherwise they will taste the fires of hell”.Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthis have fired drones successfully deep into Saudi Arabia aimed primarily at oil facilities. Whether they have the range or capacity to reach Israel is another question.
