In 2013 Muslim Brotherhood Leader Muhammed Morsi was elected to the presidency after a year of protests, back tacitly by the army, successfully overthrew the Mubarak dictatorship. Within a year, Morsi was deposed himself in an army back coup and will now face execution pending a military tribunal.
But the question is this:
What if Israel, shocked by the electoral success of Morsi and the hostile Muslim Brotherhood party decides to act immediately after the election and proceed to launch a strike into Egypt to effect regime change. Publicly they say it's to defend Coptic Christians and to root out Hamas camps sheltered by the Brotherhood.
Could this happen? Could Israel succeed? Would the US support? What are the ramifications?
