David Wurmser The Editors, Feb. 12, 2025 “Egypt’s policy on Gaza was just one manifestation of the typical regional pattern of dealing with problems emanating from ideological danger: indulge and reconcile with the problem by exporting it to others who will deal with it.” The Gaza drama is putting Egypt’s peace with Israel under new […]

The U.S. secretary of state met with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on June 10 to talk about […]
Nadav Shragai Israel Hayom, July 10, 2024 “The very thought of now erasing Egypt’s sins and giving them a role again in overseeing the Philadelphi Corridor and Rafah crossing is scandalous.” For nearly 20 years, Hamas has smuggled enormous quantities of weapons and building materials through and under the Philadelphi Corridor, significantly advancing the […]

Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Feb. 9, 2023 “The only formula that Israel has agreed to is “calm for calm.” President Biden asked Egyptian President al-Sisi to renew Egyptian involvement to prevent an escalation in the security situation between Israel and the Palestinians and another round of fighting on the Gaza border. U.S. Secretary […]
