Propaganda at its finest...

This is the third major Israeli war against the Gaza strip in less than six years. Yet, this war is unlike any of the previous ones, even unlike any previous encounter between the Arabs and Israel. This time Israel is not fighting the Palestinians alone. I am not here referring to the usual unconditional support Israel receives from the United States of America and its Western allies. For this goes without saying. I am talking about an unprecedented alliance between Israel and the regimes of some of the most influential and most pivotal Arab countries. This alliance is not necessarily because the rulers of these Arab countries are 'out-of-the-closet' friends of Israel or affiliates of the Zionist club. Rather, it is the convergence of vital interests; the coalition of those who came together once before to confront the sweeping winds of the Arab Spring.
Israeli commentators and politicians have kept no secret in this regard. They speak at ease about the fact that they are fighting Hamas in Gaza not only for their own sake but also on behalf of the rulers of countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Hamas is seen by these regimes as a twin sister of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is considered by them an existential threat. The attitude of politicians and the media coverage in those countries only confirm too well what the Israelis have been saying.
These Arab regimes concord with Israel in blaming the current war on Hamas. They, too, accuse it of embarking on an adventure that endangers the civilian population of Gaza. The truth, however, is that they are after Hamas' head no matter what. Israelis have alluded to promises made to them by the rich Gulf countries not only that they would consent to their campaign but also that they would be willing to fund the rebuilding of Gaza once Hamas is wiped off the map and its authority is replaced by their ally in Ramallah, Mahmud Abbas.

Just following the lines to see who is currently supporting whom.
Clearer now?
That is the clearest exposition yet that I have seen of the alliances in the Mideast.
