Amira Oron INSS, Insight No. 1968, Mar. 26, 2025 ” The renewed approval granted by Israel was based on the assertion that these deviations were temporary and reversible.” Recently, questions have been raised in Israel—in the media, on social networks, and among researchers and experts—regarding the expanded Egyptian military presence in the Sinai Peninsula and […]
The Conversation, Mar. 7, 2025 “Cairo is apprehensive about Israel’s potential strategy of forcibly locating Palestinians to the Sinai Peninsula, which is on its territory. Egyptian officials have deemed that scenario as a red line. Cairo doesn’t want to be seen as undermining the Palestinian cause.” How dependent is Egypt on the US? Over time, Egypt […]
Steven A. Cook Foreign Policy, Feb. 27, 2025 “After Oct. 7, [Egypt’s deployments] should raise alarm bells. We have learned our lesson. We must monitor Egypt closely and prepare for every scenario.” In this extended moment of history, events that were once unimaginable now regularly come to pass—and another item may soon join the list.

Shirit Avitan Cohen Israel Hayom, Feb. 13, 2025 “Not only are we allowing the buildup of forces on the other side, but we are also permitting it without receiving anything in return, in a way that does not align with the diplomatic language of the Middle East.” Attempts to smuggle weapons using drones, satellite images […]
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 […]
Peter Berkowitz Real Clear Politics, Feb. 9, 2025 “… all conventional options for rehabilitating and governing Gaza are terrible.” On Tuesday, Feb. 4, barely two weeks into his second term, President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On the occasion of his first official meeting in Washington with a foreign leader since returning […]
Oved Lobel Australian Jewish News, Feb. 13, 2025 “Egypt has demonstrated that it is either unable and or unwilling to play a relevant or helpful role in Gaza or with respect to Israeli-Palestinian issues generally.” If there’s one thing at which Egypt has excelled, it is avoiding international opprobrium for its actions. It was Egypt, […]

“Since the massacre, Israeli and American officials have played down the Egyptian military’s culpability and nefarious inclinations. Instead, they’ve reverted to past habits: treating Egypt as an economic basket case and the army as the only bulwark against state collapse or another Islamist resurgence. This approach has effectively neutralized censure in Washington and Jerusalem while […]
Reuel Marc Gerecht WSJ, June 23, 2024 “The Egyptian army, like the Hashemite monarchy in Jordan, learned years ago that peace treaties with the Jewish state don’t require a full-faith renunciation of anti-Zionism.” Antony Blinken has visited Cairo again. 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 […]
