Egyptian Sources: Israel’s New Plan Threatens Peace Agreement with Cairo
According to the English section of webangah news Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, Egyptian officials speaking to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed newspaper emphasized that Israel’s new proposal, presented during indirect negotiations with Hamas, involves redeploying Israeli troops within Gaza during a 60-day ceasefire. They described this move as hazardous and said it could undermine international efforts to end the conflict.
The sources added that Tel Aviv’s plan risks plunging Egypt into an unprecedented political and security crisis.
They explained that this would place Egyptians in direct confrontation with Palestinians in Rafah, located at southern Gaza. This growth threatens to nullify the peace agreement between Cairo and Tel Aviv as, according to that pact, no threat should arise against Egypt’s national security nor any demographic changes occur along its borders.
Notably, Israel aims to occupy nearly half of Gaza and relocate Palestinian refugees to Rafah as part of a strategy to expel them from the strip.
