German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Mubarak's departure marked a "historic change" and that she expected Egypt's future government "to continue to keep the peace in the Middle East, in that the agreements made with Israel are respected and Israel's security is guaranteed."
Whats off topic Mates??? Mubarak is out, no more puppet, lets hope the new leaders are more compassionate to the plight of their brothers held captive under the Israeli Apartheid regime.
"We call upon the new Egyptian leadership to take an immediate decision to lift the blockade of Gaza and open Rafah (border) crossing permanently to allow people's free movement and in order for the reconstruction process of Gaza to begin," said Abu Zuhri.
Unlike in Israel, the rest of the Arab world celebrated Mubarak's resignation.
In Israel, there were reports of fireworks going off in Arab villages throughout the northern part of the country.
Palestinians in Gaza let off fireworks and shot into the air to celebrate the resignation of Mubarak, and the Islamist group Hamas called on Egypt's new rulers to change his policies.
The tiny coastal enclave of Gaza shares a border with Israel and Egypt. Both countries have imposed strict limitations on the movement of people and goods since Hamas took control of the territory, hampering Gaza's economy.
"He allowed what he thought he could get away with and played the UN and the Allies all the way ..." Played the UN???? Who do WE know that "plays" the UN Mate?
Israel says its to early to foresee what will happen in relations with Egypt; Hamas calls on new Egyptian leadership to lift Gaza blockade immediately.
Did I read this right? United Nations Security Counsel compliance. Ummmmm, who do we know that doesn't care about the United Nations weapons inspectors, resolutions, international law.
