Hi all! I hope your preparation for BMUN is going well and that you're all excited for conference in less than a month!
This NY Times article came out last week, and I thought it was really interesting. It discusses the alliance between Israel in Egypt, through which Israel has been able to target jihadists in Egypt with airstrikes.
Israel and Egypt have had notable historical tension and differences, and it seems that experiencing this common threat has assisted in uniting them. Egypt previously attempted to navigate these threats of attack but later agreed that Israel could step in.
The article noted that although this "alliance" is definitely heartening, it's certainly a complex issue with much underlying tension; critiques of Israel say that it may be acting out of defense for itself in order to prevent issues in Egypt from moving north, and Egyptian media have continued to denounce Israel, despite its aid to them.
I'm curious to know what you think, and I highly recommend you read the article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/world/middleeast/israel-airstrikes-sinai-egypt.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fmiddleeast&action=click&contentCollection=middleeast®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=8&pgtype=sectionfront
See you in less than a month, and have a great Monday!
