High Tensions in Israel-Egypt Relations
6 September 2024
The dispute between Israel and Egypt over the “Philadelphia Corridor” has led to heightened tensions between the two countries.Political officials in Jerusalem estimate that the peace agreement is not currently at risk, but the security establishment is concerned about Egypt’s military build-up and the system of tunnels and bridges it has constructed on the Suez Canal.
This infrastructure could allow Egypt to transfer large military forces to the Sinai Peninsula unexpectedly.
