Since the opening of the new Suez Canal, one of the most important events in the world, the United States has changed its stance from absolute support of terror groups to accusing some of their leaders of violence and terror acts.

This is a significant change. Yet it is a policy that often carries a lot of unexpected surprises and paradoxes; for, yesterday’s friend is the enemy of today, and the latter is tomorrow’s friend.

 

As to the American change of stance, one should be well aware of the fact that it has never depended on revising attitudes and studying situations in depth in order to find out the truth or other logical matters, “but it is a political attitude that totally depends on the overall interest and betting on the winning horse.”

Thus, Muslim Brotherhood is no more a “wining horse” for the concerns and calculations of the great state that has kept its promise for three years, ignoring the terror acts, which have solid evidence. The White House, until recently, released a statement saying that it does not see any proof of the groups’ involvement in violence; and that the United States sees their commitment to total peace.

 

However, the big surprise, which did not leave any other options to the great country, is that despite all challenges and pressures on Egypt, it did not break or threaten the Egyptian will to move a step forward;  Egypt’s insistence on accomplishing its advance; coming out of the crisis with the help of the bold Egyptians and their loyal leadership, which defeated phantoms of terrorism and overcame the plots of the greedy. Hence, the US can't bury its head in the sand so that it won’t see the painful reality that came against its will; nor can the United States continue counting on these terror groups, whose essence is revealed now to general public, and so it became clear that the US can no more cling to these groups and defend them for the sake of saving its face.

 

John Kerry’s statement, previously outlined by the US government, conveys many implicit messages that summarized the change of the confusing American attitude, from supporting to abandoning the terror groups and recognizing the proof that confirms their commitment of terror acts and violence.

 

 

The United States awakened from its loss in the bet, and what a loss it was: the end of the so-called “Muslim Brotherhood”; Egypt regaining its power; the rise of the approval ratings and prestige of the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi; Egyptians’ support of their president and his success. This all was demonstrated by the launch of the new Suez Canal, a project that was beyond all expectations and standards, and astonished the whole world by its accomplishment exactly on time in spite of skeptics who believed in the failure of the project. However, time proved the opposite. And what a change.
