Egypt sent 40,000 soldiers to Sinai. Fears of the exodus of Palestinians from Gaza are growing

Egypt has deployed 40,000 soldiers along the Sinai Peninsula along the border with the Gaza Strip, fearing that Israel's planned assault on Gaza may origin a mass exodus of Palestinians to North Sinai, as Cairo, according to NewArab, sees as a direct threat to its territorial integrity.

These actions, taken by order of Egypt's president Abdel Fatah el-Sisi, mean that in this region Egyptian forces are now twice as advanced as the limit adopted with Israel in the 1979 Treaty on the Demilitarisation of Sinai.

It is besides a clear signal sent to Israel that Egypt is opposed to any border violations and rejects proposals to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by resettlement of Palestinians in its territory.

The Cairo authorities, sending soldiers to the theoretically demilitarized zone, explained that the 1979 agreement never assumed that there would be a humanitarian disaster in the region and the implementation of plans for the forced resettlement of millions of Palestinians in Sinai. However, as Cairo stressed, this does not mean that Egypt is preparing for the war with Israel; “it is only preparing to defend its territory.”

Depopulation of gases and destabilisation of Egypt

However, according to the MiddleEastEye portal, Egypt not only deployed up to 40,000 soldiers, including peculiar forces, but besides crucial armoured forces and anti-aircraft defence systems.

“The script in which Gaza will be depopulated and its residents forced to flee to Egypt will lead to strong force on the Egyptian government from its own population, the likely consequence of which will be the destabilisation of Egypt,” said Kristin Ronzi, an analyst for mediate East and North Africa at RANE, a hazard analysis company. Attempts to penetrate Palestinians in Sinai would endanger violent clashes with Egyptian safety forces. specified a script could mean major shocks in this North African country.

However, according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan 11, this Cairo decision "was coordinated with the Israeli army and Israeli political leadership, in accordance with the 1979 military annex to the 1979 agreement".

Intensification of attacks on Gaza. The Israeli military controls 40 percent of the city

The Israeli army has been intensifying attacks on Gaza for respective weeks, explaining that these are preliminary actions before the appropriate offensive. The government approved in early August a fresh run covering the seizure of Gaza, the largest city of Palestinian territory.

The fresh run has sparked global criticism. Aid organisations are informing about the worsening of the humanitarian crisis, including hunger. The offensive is besides criticized in Israel itself. The polls show that the majority of the population advocates an agreement with Hamas, not a continuation of the fight.

According to the media, the operation besides led to tensions between any military commanders and politicians.
