The website of the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation Makan reported, citing informed sources, that “there is really a lot of tension between Egypt and Israel” after the end of the war with the Islamic Jihad movement in Gaza.
In its analysis, the Hebrew newspaper Ha’aretz stated that “far from the eyes of the media, there has been significant tension between Israel and Egypt in recent times, despite increased security coordination between them over the past decade,” noting that tensions angered Egypt against the backdrop of the recent 3-day war in the Gaza Strip.
The analysis of the newspaper showed that “after reaching a ceasefire brokered by Egypt, Israel stepped on the heels of Cairo.”
Haaretz pointed to “a call from Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid after the ceasefire came into force to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.”
The newspaper pointed out that “while Sisi was talking to Lapid, another operation was being prepared to target the stalker Ibrahim al-Nabulsi” as he was killed by the Israeli army after being besieged in a house in Nablus and confronted him for hours. explaining that “Operation Assassination of Ibrahim al-Nablusi” caused great anger among the Egyptians, as Cairo expected Sisi and Lapid’s conversation to lead to an organized briefing of the Israeli army, but this did not happen, and the Nablus operation was interpreted as poking a finger in Sisi’s eye .
She stated that “anger in Cairo added to other Egyptian complaints related to the days leading up to the last war in Gaza, when the Islamic Jihad movement threatened to retaliate for the arrest of Bassam al-Saadi, as the Israeli army closed the streets in the Gaza envelope to traffic. and at the same time prepared to strike at the movement, but the head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel, expected Israel to give him more time to calm the people.
It was pointed out that “as Egypt moved closer to a ceasefire agreement, Israel killed Taysir al-Jabari in the southern Gaza Strip and Egypt wanted to include a sentence in the ceasefire agreement statement saying that it” will work for the release of al-Saadi and Khalil al-Awd,” but Israel refused to do so.”
