Israel challenges Egypt on secret Sinai military buildup

(Worthy Insights) – Senior Israeli officials have approached Egypt regarding serious violations of peace agreement terms following mounting evidence of Egyptian military buildup in Sinai that exceeds previously agreed limits, Israel Hayom has learned. Sources familiar with the matter said Egyptian officials proposed US mediation to reduce growing tensions between the nations. The Israeli diplomatic messages were conveyed amid increasingly concerning social media posts showing the Egyptian army allegedly conducting exercises preparing for a potential “invasion” of Israel through Sinai.

In recent discussions between the sides, Egyptian officials expressed their own concerns, stating that “entities with foreign interests aiming to destabilize relations between the countries are responsible for distributing the videos, some edited and some fabricated.” Egypt additionally proposed resolving their Sinai violations through accelerated bilateral dialogue to bridge gaps, suggesting US mediation if direct talks prove unsuccessful.
