Plenty of film sinc eof the nice British-built frigate and the nice British-built replenishment tanker passing through the canal.  By the way, the holding of joint training exercises with Syria through 2011 in the Med was announced in January, long before the Egyptian troubles.  All the "shock and surprise" is just political posturing.

As for who is winding up whom:
"Two Israeli warships have sailed through the Suez Canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, Israeli and Egyptian officials say.  Israeli media described the passage of the two Saar class missile boats as a "message" to Iran..... the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies, said: "I believe (the news) was likely leaked on purpose in order to signal to Iran that Israel has the capability of reaching them."
