Ronan Bar discussed with Abbas Kamal how the countries can work in cooperation to prevent arms smuggling. Another topic discussed by Bar with the head of Egyptian intelligence is the Egyptian ideas about "the day after" in the Gaza Strip.
Egypt is very concerned about the worsening humanitarian crisis on the Palestinian side of the border between Gaza and Egypt. The Egyptians are concerned that an IDF operation in Rafah, where the IDF has hardly operated until now, will create a huge influx of Palestinian refugees into the Sinai Peninsula.
