Israel Gains Tactical Control Over Gaza-Egypt Border Amid Conflict
TL;DR
Egypt has remained silent on Israel's takeover of the Philadelphi corridor in southern Gaza, despite it violating a decades-old peace agreement. Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, while in Beijing, called for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and opposed forced displacement of Palestinians. Public anger in Egypt is high, especially after the deaths of two Egyptian conscripts in a recent exchange of fire with Israeli troops. The Egyptian government is cautious, fearing that protests over Gaza could escalate into broader demonstrations against economic hardships.
