A senior Egyptian official has voiced sharp opposition to Israel�s proposed military redeployment in Gaza, warning that the plan could jeopardize regional stability and even prompt a reassessment of the Camp David peace accords.
In an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the official � a member of Egypt�s security delegation involved in ongoing ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas � condemned Israel�s plan to maintain a military presence throughout Rafah and establish a sprawling tent city for displaced Gazans near the Egyptian border.
�This would create a human bomb at the Egyptian border, which would pose a clear threat to Egypt�s national security,� the official said.
He revealed that Egypt has already bolstered its military presence in Sinai�s Zone C � an area where military deployment is limited under the Camp David Accords � in direct response to what it views as Israeli violations of the agreement.
�This buildup is a message,� the official said, noting that Egypt may reconsider its decades-old peace treaty with Israel if it concludes that Israeli actions in Gaza present a concrete threat to its security.
