After the publication in "Israel Hayom":
Israel is considering evacuating the Gazans to the north of the Gaza Strip in order to attack Rafah, but it is estimated that such a step will not happen before March.
Mass flight: Palestinians flee the fighting in southern Khan Yunis, towards Rafah
This morning we published in "Israel Hayom" that Egypt recently sent strong messages to Israel, according to which the passage of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to Sinai would jeopardize the peace agreement between the two countries.
Egypt clarified that it will not agree to the passage of refugees from Sinai to its territory.
The Egyptian concern is the transfer of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza to Sinai and their remaining there.
This is also the reason why Egypt made it clear to Israel that it strongly opposes the expansion of the fighting to Rafah, and an Israeli takeover of the Philadelphia Axis.

About 1.4 million of the approximately 2.2 million citizens of the Gaza Strip are currently concentrated in the Rafah sector, and Egypt fears that an Israeli operation in the city will lead to a mass flight to Sinai.
Since Israel is preventing Palestinians from returning to their homes in the northern part of the Strip, it will in fact leave them no option but to flee south.
