Israel Confronts Egypt over "Major" Peace Treaty Violation
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Israel has approached Egypt and the U.S. with a request to begin dismantling military infrastructure constructed by the Egyptian army in Sinai that violates the peace agreement between the countries. A senior security official characterized the Egyptian actions as a "major violation" of the security annex. The official explained that the entry of military forces into Sinai beyond the quotas agreed upon represents "the smaller problem," since "such actions are reversible." However, Israel "will not accept the situation." In a separate context, the official revealed that the threat from "external Hamas" is intensifying globally. Particularly concerning is the risk of terrorist activity by Hamas forces in Syria. Syria's leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, has released Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders from Syrian prisons where they had been detained during Bashar Assad's rule. These leaders are now threatening to attack Israel. To counter this threat, Israel has established a security zone 11 miles wide into the Syrian side of the Golan Heights and has constructed nine major outposts in order to separate enemy forces from Israeli residents. "The situation that existed before Oct. 7 will not return," the official said.
