In the discussion thread: Egypt cancels natural gas deal with Israel [View all]

Sun Apr 22, 2012, 04:45 PM

7. Heard something on McLaughlin Group today

Mort Zuckerman said that Egypt imports about 50% of its food, and there is only enough foreign exchange to last for another two or three months, and that there will be starvation. Clearly, not selling natural gas to Israel would make that situation even worse. I wonder if the Egyptian people will need another Arab Spring before they get a leadership that looks out for them instead of an ideology?
