Time will tell if your view is correct or not. The Egyptian revolution is still in the transitional stage, so we won't really know how things will pan out. However, the recent attack on Israel via Egypt is a disturbing event, and if more such attacks are carried out, I would question if it Mubarak's plan, or the reality of a new Egypt being aligned with different factions.

This is where it's difficult to say. There are some Egyptian soldiers stationed on the Sinai who have stated different stories about the insurgency in the Sinai and what happened in Eilat, but just so you know, the overwhelming majority of the Egyptians are sympathetic to the Palestinians, and hate Israel with a passion. So it's not really a secret as to how Egypt is forming in regards to which faction they're aligned with.

But when I mentioned the Mubarak regime's plan, I was referring to the chaos strictly within Egypt, not the recent events in Eilat and the attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.

The new Egypt will certainly find itself uniquely aligned. Who now can really sympathize with their position? They can't move into the virulently anti-Israeli camp as it is, since it's populated by Assad's Syria and Iran, both of whom violently oppose the Arab Spring democratic values. Erdogan's Turkey might prove to be a good guide for the new Egypt, and perhaps Lebanon, which is also trying to take a middle gear as an anti-Israeli democracy
