Egypt's ruling military council, facing its first diplomatic headache since taking power on February 11, approved the ships' passage through the waterway which is a vital global trading route and major source of revenues for the Egyptian authorities. The two vessels, a frigate and a supply ship, are due to enter the canal Monday. The northbound convoy from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean moves at 6 a.m. (0400 GMT). "We can see what an unstable region we live in, an area in which Iran is trying to take advantage of the situation that has arisen and broaden its influence by transferring two warships via the Suez Canal," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in public remarks to his cabinet. "Israel takes a grave view of this Iranian step," he said, adding the Jewish state would need to boost defense spending as a result of Tehran's move and recent regional upheaval. CONCERN OVER TURMOIL Israel has also watched with concern the political turmoil in Egypt, which led to the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak. Although Mubarak's government often criticized Israel, it had been a committed partner to Egypt's 1979 peace treaty. Suez Canal officials said the Iranian ships would pass through the canal Monday and were due to arrive at the southern entrance of the waterway in the Gulf of Suez later on Sunday. The canal officials denied a report on Iran's Arabic language state television channel Al Alam TV that said earlier Sunday that the ships had already passed through the Canal. The military, which has been running Egypt since Mubarak quit on February 11, approved Iran's request to send the ships through the canal. The request was a difficult one for Egypt's interim government. Cairo is an ally of the United States and its relations with Iran have been strained for more than three decades. Last week, the prospect of the Suez crossing was described by Israel's far-right foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, as a provocation by Iran.

The Suez canal is an international waterway, and so is the Mediterranean. To put it in layman’s terms as International Law and Regulations mean absolutely nothing to Americans or Israeli’s: the entire 5th fleet of the US Navy in the Persian Gulf IS a provocation. The shooting down of an Iran Air 747 from Iranian waters IS a provocation. Invading Iraq for absolutely no valid reason IS a provocation. Invading Afganistan for absolutely no valid reason IS a provocation. Selling $60 billion worth of fighter jets to Saudi Arabia IS a provocation. Constantly calling for war against a nation, including the possible use of nuclear weapons, IS a provocation. Sending nuclear bunker busters and long range jet bombers to Israel IS a provocation. Defiantly, and incessantly denying a country’s right granted to it by Article 4 of the NPT IS a provocation. Constantly breaching this same Article 4, and then mindlessly breaching the UN charter that prohibits the ‘THREAT or USE of force’ is a provocation. Should we continue or is the haze beginning to lift?
