The US State Secretary John Kerry traveled on Wednesday May 18th to the presidential palace in Egypt.  In news “The US secretary of state has held talks with the Egyptian president in Cario on the country’s political situation and peace proposals for the region, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” Translating from the political doublespeak into English: The US and Israel tried to push Egypt to drop its support for the upcoming UN Palestine resolution. Israel has even tried to bribe the Egyptian leaders, by announcing during the meeting that “Israel may forgive half of Egypt’s $1.7b gas fine for a gas pipeline explosion in el-Arish, Egypt in July, 2012.” And this is very important: “Kerry: Egypt key regional partner by Jerusalem Post Israel News – ‎18 hours ago‎ Kerry’s brief visit fueled speculation that a behind the- scenes US-Egyptian-led peace process with Israel and other regional partners was in the works, which would circumvent the highly publicized French initiative to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ”

Apparently, the US and Israel didn’t get what they want from Egypt, that’s why the passenger airliner went down in a suspected “terror attack.”

RT reported that three or more Egyptian security officers were onboard of a crashed flight from Paris

The US is getting ready to start bombing Egypt for “violations of human rights.” That’s why it was reported right before a plane crash:  “Can Egypt be forced to improve prison conditions? Aljazeera.com – ‎20 hours ago‎  Prisons and police stations across Egypt are bursting at the seams, Human Rights Watch says. Opposition supporters, together with journalists who speak out against the Egyptian government and its policies, continue to be rounded up by security forces.”

The US and Israel cannot let Egypt to have its first nuclear power plant, either.

Jerusalem Post reported a after the crash that “Russia to lend Egypt $25 billion to build nuclear power plant. CAIRO – Russia will loan Egypt $25 billion to finance building and operating a nuclear power plant in Egypt, the official gazette said on Thursday. ”

However,  Russian government anticipated this turn of events.
