Late to the game but there's a bigger picture here.
Ever heard of the Ben Gurian canal project?
It's an alternative to the Suez canal that would be routed through Israel, allowing shipping straight up the Jordan directly to the Mediterranean. The only thing standing in the way is the Gaza strip. This would decimate a chunk of the economy and bargaining power of the middle east and give it solely to Israel. Just Google it, it's fucking scary.
A lot of people where I'm from are extremely supportive of this project. Especially because Egypt has a history of extortion and seizure of goods on vessels owned by poorer, non-muslim countries.
