FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Press TV has conducted an interview with Belfast-based political commentator Saeb Shaath to further discuss the issue. The following is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Press TV: We know that one of those candidates that was disqualified was the Muslim Brotherhood candidate – What is basically the ruling general’s problem with the Muslim Brotherhood and would you agree that the military rulers by this process of getting involved in the election, as some observers are saying, are trying to create division among Islamic parties at the same time as they’re trying to divide people’s votes?
Shaath: It’s part of what I think is the creating of the counter revolution. In the beginning the SCAF sought with allying itself with some political forces, such as some Muslim parties as well.
They can present a counter revolution to the Egyptian revolution as a revolution, then they can appease some parties, which joined SCAF with their winning. And the parliament, which will be a useless tool as nothing can even pass through, they have to be approved by SCAF.
This is the game… they want to appear on the arena. Omar Suleiman as a presidential candidate for the election and the Muslim Brotherhood as well wanted to face that… They are not going to run for the presidential elections.
They thought they are going to take all the cake, the executive and the legitimate powers as well and here some of the Liberals and even Leftists and nationals see a danger of an Egypt controlled totally by the Muslim Brotherhood and from Salafists and that rings the bell with the alliance, which was created by SCAF with some Muslim Brotherhood. The battle started in here.
But then we can notice the Muslim Brotherhood and some Islamic parties, they think SCAF is a proper counterrevolution tool and they went last Friday to the Tahrir Square to join the revolution and they get the indication that all forces right now are united in Egypt even to engage in a new revolution that has been created against SCAF, against the counter revolution forces.
Press TV: Mr. Saab Shaath, I’d like to have your view on this… already some people inside of Egypt or outside are saying that this decision that has been made by the current government in Egypt is only a political decision; that the political rulers are using this decision to win popular support because it’s coming ahead of the elections. Now, in your opinion do you think that this cutting of a gas export to Israel is going to stand?
Shaath: I think what you said and what is being recommended about the SCAF wanting to use this, yes, I think SCAF is trying to export the panic, which they are going through before the Egyptian presidential election to Israel as the enemy number one for the Egyptians.
And the United States of America and Israel is looking at this very closely, but they know SCAF is their voice in town who is trying to run the show on their behalf in Egypt, but at the same time this is the first step, you know, like the Egyptian gas supply to Israel was imposed on the Egyptians, it was not part of the peace treaty. But since the oil was stopped they imposed the gas in 2005 and Egypt was robbed. They were taking it for a very cheap price, well below the international price.
Egyptian citizens were paying double or triple the price the Israelis were paying and Egypt needed that gas while the Israelis have taken it and not even paying for it and some of these companies who were involved in buying the Egyptian gas are suing the Egyptian government after the attacks since the revolution on the pipeline in Sinai.
They are suing the Egyptian government for billions and they were taking it as well and not paying the Egyptian government, which is hundreds of millions off the Military Council of Egypt.
So the SCAF found themselves in a big dilemma here – How to solve this; to come out it popular and to push their candidates, which they support like Amr Moussa or the secret service general in the election and to use that as they will become suddenly… a right hand to Israel.
It’s a game and that game the revolutionary Egypt understands very well and by the time the presidential election is finished and ended in Egypt the revolutionaries learned their lesson; learned not to trust the SCAF and learned not to trust the puppets of the United States of America or Israel and Egypt.
Things like that will come gradually in Egypt and Israel will go back to the position it used to be- enemy number one of the Arab people in Egypt and that is going to happen step by step.
