New Time
Arab regimes tremble before a new day of protest
New protests have called for today in several Arab countries. Authoritarian regimes that govern Egypt, Yemen and Jordan fear the spread of the riots that toppled the government of Zine El-Abidine ben Ali. Systems based on corruption and nepotism tremble at the grass-roots mobilizations that combine social demands and political and spread like an oil slick.
GARA through Yemen, "Jasmine Revolution" has begun to touch the Arab regimes have maintained for decades thanks to the yoke of fear, analysts believe.
After Tunisia, "the question is no longer who I will play now, but what regime will remain," says Amr Hamzawy, research director of the Carnegie Endowment Middle East, for whom the popular demonstrations could reach most Arab countries, with the exception of Persian Gulf oil monarchies.
"This is a true regional trend in Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Yemen ... where citizens take to the streets to claim their social, economic and political, "added the analyst.
"It's a dynamic that spread throughout the Arab world, agrees Bourhan Ghalioun university professor, author in 1977 of a" Manifesto for democracy "in the Arab world.
"What has occurred in Tunisia has cracked fear and has shown it is possible, with impressive speed, overthrow a regime which is not as difficult as you might imagine," adds Ghalioun, director of the Center for Studies Contemporary East (CEOC), based in Paris. Egypt
Tuesday live from the largest protests since the coming to power in 1981 by President Hosni Mubarak, 82 years old, and is expected to intensify after yesterday returned to the country the opposition Mohammed El-Baredei.
fever has reached Yemen, where thousands of people marched Saturday to demand the departure of President Ali Abdallah Saleh, in power for 32 years, while Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition force, have called a new event for today. Ghalioun
excluded in any case, a "mechanical transmission" due to specific reasons for each country, stressing that "no process exchange will look to another. "
But the protest movements that began to play to Arab regimes have one thing in common: they are being instigated by young people and the middle classes over the Internet and social networking.
"is the result of autocratic regimes have done in politics in the Arab world: the opposition parties have been systematically weakened and isolated and, therefore, is the citizenry is mobilized today," explains Hamzawy.
"Legitimacy can not be built on repression and on the denial of political and social rights," says Hamzawy. "No one can accept this in the XXI century and the Arabs are no exception."
In some countries, leaders have begun to make concessions, as in Jordan, where King Abdullah has promised to "make progress" on political reforms, or in Yemen, President Saleh has said he does not think its transmit power child.
But in the Arab world, "where most machines are seen as systems of oppression, corruption or destruction" if used Ghalioun terms, there is the unknown of whether these reforms will suffice.
For Ghassan Charbel, editor of the influential pan-Arab daily "Al-Hayat", "Arab regimes can choose to listen to popular demands and decide to push real reforms or continue to rely solely on its security apparatus. In this case, could collapse one after another. "

EGYPT
The Government of Israel keeps an uneasy silence Mubarak's regime is a key ally in the Arab world
Israel's silence is remarkable. In 2009, when presumably fraudulent elections led to widespread protests in Iran, Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for the rebellion. Faced with protests in Egypt, however, the Israeli government prefers to keep silence. The survival of the regime of Hosni Mubarak is essential to Israeli security. Confidential, diplomats said Monday several officers his "concern" but felt that Mubarak achieved quell the revolt.
For now, he relies on the stability of the Egyptian regime. "Mubarak is no Tunisian Ben Ali and the medium term we end the protests achieved using more or less brutal ways available," said an Israeli diplomatic source familiar with Egypt. "It seems quite possible that Mubarak has to make some concessions and that until then, the police used violence increased, but the regime itself we do not feel in danger, "he added.
Concern focuses beyond the medium term, in the critical presidential elections in September would, if implemented as planned, to mark the succession of the elder Mubarak.
" Neither Mubarak's son Gamal, or any other potential successor within the regime, will have authority over the army and the whole country that enjoys the current president, "the same diplomat said, adding that" we may be seeing the History with a capital, moving, and maybe things happen right now seem impossible. "Israel is
suddenly in a situation unexpectedly complex. Your faithful and powerful ally in the Arab world, Mubarak's Egypt, is in crisis. And his fiercest enemy, the party-Islamist militia Hezbollah in Lebanon has managed to topple pro-Western government and placed Saad Hariri as prime minister Najib Mikati, a moderate Sunni, but much closer to the Syrian positions and, ultimately , part of Hasan Nasrallah, the charismatic leader of Hezbollah.
Very few friends in the area
- Turkey to Israel in 1996 sealed a strategic alliance that was forged during the Cold War. The government in Ankara recognized Israel since its founding and has been since his only 'friend' Muslim. But the diplomatic posturing before the offensive in Gaza in 2008 and the Israeli assault on the Turkish humanitarian fleet 31 May 2010 both countries have moved away.
- Jordan and Israel ended 46 years of war with the signing of the peace treaty of 1994. Along with Egypt, Jordan is the only Arab country maintaining diplomatic relations with Government of Israel.
