MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) says that Egypt’s arms build up over the past few years has focused on the possibility of future war with Israel. 

 

In a radio interview to be broadcast on Arutz 7’s Hebrew internet site at 10:00 P.M. tonight, Steinitz, a former professor of political science at Haifa University who chairs the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, says that Egypt has already become a major supporter of terrorism against Israel.

 

Steinitz said that Egypt has been allowing terrorist groups operating out of the Gaza district to smuggle missiles into Gaza. Those groups intend to use the missiles against Israeli targets.

 

In his estimation, 90% of the explosives used by the terrorist groups are brought in from Egypt.

 

Steinitz explains that it is a mistake for Israel to view Syria as its principle enemy, while neglecting the Egyptian threat, primarily because Israel maintains diplomatic relations with Egypt.

 

Steinitz said that weapons smuggled from Egypt has become so important to the Hamas, “if you would ask them what they would be willing to give up, assistance from Egypt or Syria, they would prefer to give up Syrian, but not Egyptian aid.”

 

The Egyptians, Steinitz asserts, have kept to the peace agreements signed in 1978 as far as not engaging Israel in outright conflict. But on other levels, such as economic relations or stopping anti-Israel incitement, Egyptian compliance has been lacking.

NOTE FROM MIRIAM HOWARD (who emailed this article to me):

Daniel 11 foretells of at least three military encounters between Egypt (the King of the South) and the anti-Christ... the first seems to be caused from  provocation by the anti-Christ... during 'Jacob's Trouble'...the first half of the Trib...(verses 25-27).  The second encounter could very well take place during the second half of the Tribulation, in verse 40, when the King of the South "shall push at him"  (the beast).  The last conflict takes place in verse 42 to 43, where it talks about the beast..." "He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps."

 

HOW  TREMENDOUSLY  EXCITING  TO BE  ALIVE  IN  THIS VERY  DAY...OF  LATE-BREAKING,  FINAL FULFILLMENT  OF GOD'S  HOLY  WORD!!!

 

LOOK UP!
