Israel focuses on coercing the 'Supreme Council', having lost faith in the Egyptian people!

"...There is not much Israelis can do about Egyptian public opinion so they have focused their attention on trying to figure who they can trust and building a relationship with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). There are both good practical reasons for the Israelis to reach out to the military--the SCAF is, after all, in charge and there is a security problem in Sinai--and a more profound rationale: the officers are the only people left whom the Israelis know and with whom it is not political suicide (yet) to have contact.  ..."

As if the Supreme Council can ignore the Egyptian people!!! The desperation shown by the Izzies is amazing. Thirty some years of investment in an elite that collapsed in few weeks has left them with nothing to show but dizziness!
