In Egypt, the tense, polarized environment following the military’s overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi has created the real possibility of civil conflict. Although Israel was initially apprehensive about an Islamist government across its Sinai border, the Muslim Brotherhood’s value – its ability to influence Hamas, the dominant political force in Gaza – quickly became apparent.
这一结果不会很快来临，特别是考虑到以色列边界前所未有的混乱情况。在埃及，军队推翻穆尔西后形成的紧张、极化的环境使内战成为了实实在在的威胁。尽管以色列一开始担心在西奈半岛边境另一端出现伊斯兰政府，但穆斯林兄弟会的价值——其影响加沙主要政治势力哈马斯的能力——很快凸显无疑。新的军政体制的性质和立场还有待观察。
