"As violence escalated between Israel and Gaza on Friday, with many
anticipating a weekend order to invade, a realization was growing across
Israel’s political and military echelons that the Arab Spring had
changed the equation in Israel’s dealings with Hamas-run Gaza: Unlike
four years ago, the Hamas Authority is no longer an isolated entity,
estranged from its Arab neighbors.
Four years ago, Hosni Mubarak,
then Egypt’s president, quietly shut Egypt’s border crossing with Gaza
at Rafah. Morsi has thrown it open 24 hours a day so that any wounded
Gazan could seek treatment in Egypt."
