A report in the Israeli newspaper Maariv warned that "the Egyptian military advance in Sinai under the pretext of Counter-terrorism. This will turn into a strategic threat to Israel, which calls for a careful review of the peace treaty commitments.
Maariv stated that "peace with Egypt is an indispensable strategic asset, and for this very reason we should be concerned about the accumulating violations of the agreement in Sinai and the Egyptian mobilization against Israel" On the international stage."
It added that "the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, signed in 1979 following Anwar Sadat's historic initiative, has been considered for decades a cornerstone of regional stability," noting that "the agreement, which restored to Egypt a near-monopoly on relations with Israel, was a cornerstone of regional stability." The semi-island of Sinai includes clear provisions limiting the presence of Egyptian military forces in this region, with the aim of preventing friction and establishing and building mutual trust.
However, the newspaper noted that "in recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the reality on the ground is moving further and further away from the original agreements." The newspaper stated that "Egypt's central justification for increasing its military presence in Sinai is combating ISIS and its affiliates, which have operated in the region and posed a real threat to the country's internal stability," adding that "there is no doubt that this terrorist activity required a firm response, and even Israel itself understood the need to allow Egypt a certain degree of flexibility in deploying its forces."
The newspaper added that "over the years, quiet, and sometimes even public, permissions have been granted to increase Egyptian forces beyond what is permitted under the agreement." It stated that "Egypt has not only increased the number of soldiers in Sinai, but has also introduced heavy weaponry, advanced military infrastructure, and established permanent logistical arrangements, all in violation of the spirit and letter of the agreement."
The newspaper further noted that "international reports indicate that the Egyptian presence is moving closer and closer to the border with Israel," pointing out that "this is a quiet, almost imperceptible process, but one with profound strategic implications." It emphasized that "when large, well-equipped forces are near the border, a situation arises where any political change or regional crisis could lead to a rapid escalation."
The newspaper stated that "Egypt, for its part, continues to claim that all its activity is within the framework of counterterrorism and that it has no intention of harming the peace agreement," adding that "it must be acknowledged that combating ISIS in Sinai has been complex and difficult, and ultimately Egypt has succeeded in significantly reducing the organization's activity in the region." The newspaper added that "this particular success raises an expected question: if the threat has diminished, why does the enhanced military presence remain?"
It noted that his does not stem from the assumption that Egypt is planning for an immediate war; on the contrary, security cooperation between the two countries continues and even deepens in certain areas, including agreements to supply Egypt with gas.
The Israeli newspaper stated: History teaches us that strategic situations can change rapidly, and agreements remain stable as long as there is political will to maintain them. When circumstances change, agreements can also erode."
Indeed a multifaceted report, I copied and translated it from a Lebanese site, to indicate that it could be a genuine caution about a growing force on Israeli borders, but it could very well be a deliberate early prepping for another possible war or aggression toward an entire strategic area that Israel was and is looking steadily at controlling and/or annexing, all the way to the Suez canal. It once had it and had to give it back when as mentioned Sadat offered a peace plan, but the dream and geopolitical control of the area, including the Suez canal, like the straight of Hormuz are all part of the alleged Godly dream of the biblical Israel, plus of course the new Zionist inheritors complex dreams of a greater Israel, and its total control of the entire Middle-East. It could very well be a continuation of what started in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon and Syria....
As always, my many thanks to all.
