Israeli media said that Israel informed Egypt of its intention to send forces to the Philadelphia axis area adjacent to the Egyptian border with Gaza, despite Egypt’s strong opposition.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv explained that Egypt rejected the request, warning that relations between Cairo and Tel Aviv were in danger.

In response to a question about the crisis with Qatar and Egypt, Prime Minister Netanyahu said last Saturday evening: “Relations with Egypt are ongoing and normal between the two governments all the time. Each of us has interests. Egypt must say certain things. They care about their interests and we care about ours.”

Diaa Rashwan, director of the government media office in Egypt, confirmed last week that any Israeli move to occupy the Philadelphia axis on the border between Egypt and Gaza would lead to a serious and serious threat to relations between Israel and Egypt.

Meanwhile, the former Israeli army spokesman hinted. Avi Benyahu wrote on his account on the X website that the Israeli army must reach Rafah, which borders Egypt.

In recent days, the Israeli army has called on the soldiers of the Egyptian side to stay away from the axis, in preparation for attacking the place.
