Egypt has tried to stay impartial amid the Israel-Palestine warfare. The nation was one of many first within the area to safe its personal border and deny refugees. However now Egypt is requesting an finish to the dying and destruction and has proposed a truce to Hamas.
Nations traditionally hardly ever settle for peace offers supplied by a overseas state till they’re fully decimated by warfare. Within the case of Hamas, they’re jihadi troopers who won’t ever give up their holy warfare. Egypt requested that Hamas step apart and permit the Palestinian folks to elect a brand new parliament. In return, Israeli forces would go away Palestine and decide to a everlasting ceasefire.
Now, Israel NEVER agreed to this deal. Netanyahu, sounding like Nikki Haley, mentioned, “We finish them. No less than that.” Hamas flat out rejected the deal as nicely, however mentioned they’d be open to negotiating with the lives of the 100 Israelis they’re holding captive. Hamas would by no means allow a free election – it merely wouldn’t occur.
Egypt has each purpose to worry an Israeli victory. Russia has been investing heavily in Egypt since 2014, and is at present pouring $4.6 billion into Egypt’s Suez Canal zone to create “Solar Metropolis,” an industrial zone masking 2,000 hectares. Russia poured $7 billion into Egypt in 2021 to create the Russian Industrial Zone (RIZ), the nation’s first industrial zone outdoors of Russia. Egypt is Russia’s stronghold in North Africa. Egypt has managed to keep up diplomacy with the West regardless of its shut alliance with Russia.
The Ben Gurion Canal Project will happen after Israel declares victory. I defined this in depth within the report “Israel & Its Future,” which was supplied to WEC attendees. Egypt has a grip on nautical commerce, as about 20% of all world commerce strikes via the Suez Canal. The Ben Gurion Canal would begin by the port metropolis of Eilat in Israel via the Gulf of Aqaba, crossing the Jordanian border and flowing via the Arabah Valley earlier than coming into the Useless Sea earlier than heading north across the Gaza Strip. The West would now not want to keep up diplomatic relations with Egypt as commerce can be redirected to this new canal.
Egypt doubtless anticipated Hamas to reject the peace deal however prolonged the olive department to keep up its impartial posture.
