Israel ‘concerned’ about Egypt’s military buildup in Sinai, report says

Israel’s worries about Egypt’s military buildup in the Sinai Peninsula are growing, according to a senior Israeli official speaking to Axios. Tensions between the two nations are on the rise due to the reported increase in military presence. The alleged buildup has sparked significant disagreement between Cairo and Tel Aviv, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge the Trump administration to intervene. Netanyahu is concerned that Egypt’s actions may be in violation of the 1979 peace treaty between the two countries that restricts military activity in the Sinai. With the situation escalating, Israel is closely monitoring developments in the region.
