The “Wall Street” Journal quoted Egyptian officials as saying that Egypt is considering downgrading its diplomatic relations with Israel.
The newspaper quoted one of the officials as saying that “Egypt is considering reducing diplomatic relations with Israel by withdrawing the country’s ambassador in Tel Aviv,” against the backdrop of military operations in the Palestinian city of Rafah.
“At the moment, there are no plans to suspend relations or get rid of Camp David,” another Egyptian official said, referring to the agreements that led to the 1979 peace treaty.
“But as long as Israeli forces remain at the Rafah crossing, Egypt will not send a single truck to Rafah.”
A few days ago, Egypt announced its intention to support South Africa’s lawsuit before the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian authorities refused to reopen their border with Gaza after Israeli forces took control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.
Israel and Egypt have developed an important security partnership since 1979, and the militaries of the two countries have worked closely together, especially under the regime of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, but the Rafah operation has sharply strained relations.
Egypt is a key mediator in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas on a deal aimed at freeing hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza.
