The Qatari newspaper "Al-Arabi Al-Jadid" reported today (Friday) on an assessment of Egyptian sources, according to which Israel considers military action in the Philadelphia axis as a fait accompli without Egyptian coordination.
This is the route near the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, which is considered to be an area where Hamas still conducts arms and ammunition smuggling despite Egypt's denials. In past years, the Egyptian army carried out extensive activities to destroy many tunnels in the area.
Against this background, the sources said that "Egyptian officials are taking into account the scenario (of Israeli activity in the axis) but there is an obligation not to escalate the situation. This is because the official assessments are that escalation will not serve Egypt's interest and its relations with Israel - which include more than one aspect." .
This refers to the economic, military, political and American ties.
Therefore, despite statements in Egypt that such activity could jeopardize relations - the sources believe that Cairo will not do so in light of the tensions in the region and the economic crisis it is suffering from.
