Israel Sends Planes Equipped with Crowd Dispersants http://www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk/news/middle-east/2001-rights-ngo-claims-that-israeli-planes-carrying-crowd-dispersal-weapons-have-arrived-in-egypt

The Middle East Monitor reported Tuesday Israel has offered to place "all its capabilities" at the disposal of General Omar Suleiman, Egypt’s new Vice President. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed Netanyahu called Suleiman, who is also director of Egypt's General Intelligence Service, suggesting Israeli intelligence engage in specialist operations to stop pro-democracy demonstrations. The International Network for Rights and Development says Israeli logistical support has already been sent to Egypt to help the Mubarak regime confront demonstrators. The non-governmental organization reports three Israeli planes landed at Cairo International Airport carrying hazardous equipment for use in dispersing large crowds. Israeli officials are concerned a three-decade peace treaty with Egypt could be undone if millions of Egyptians protesters succeed in toppling Mubarak. Palestinians, along with the entire Arab world are watching events unfolding in Egypt intently.
