Egypt’s growing military buildup in the Sinai is raising serious alarms in Israel. With tens of thousands of troops reportedly deployed in violation of the peace agreement, and Israel stretched across multiple fronts, questions are mounting about whether Egypt could be preparing for a dramatic shift.
Egypt has opposed the State of Israel since its rebirth in 1948. Yet time and time again, Israel has been able to push back against the Egyptian army. In the late 1970s, Israel agreed to return the Sinai to Egypt in exchange for peace. Currently, it appears that this agreement may be coming to an end. Egypt has positioned 40,000 troops in the Sinai, which is a direct violation of the peace agreement.
As Israel continues to fight Iran and its proxies, Egypt is weighing its options. Egypt knows its military is over twice the size of Israel’s military. And with most of Israel’s air force often flying over the skies of Iran hours from home, Egypt’s odds have never looked better.
Could this be the time that Egypt finally makes another move to attack Israel? Ben Hilton gives you the facts that you need to know.
