IDF set to launch massive attack to seize Gaza's border with Egypt - WSJ

[toomuchtime_]

Israel has informed Egypt of its plans to launch a military operation aimed at retaking control of the key Philadelphi corridor in the southern Gaza Strip, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

Citing both current and former Israeli and Egyptian officials, the report noted that the IDF operation would "likely involve removing Palestinian officials from a key crossing point and stationing Israeli forces along a stretch of land from Gaza’s southeastern corner abutting both Israel and Egypt toward the Mediterranean Sea about 12 kilometers (8 miles) to the northwest," as per the WSJ.

Any attack in the politically sensitive area of Rafah and the Philadelphi corridor would be highly charged because it borders Egypt and has diplomatic implications for Israel's relations both with Cairo and globally.




The Jerusalem Post reported last month that the IDF had steered clear of Rafah so far because of those sensitivities.

Egypt rejected Israeli proposal for oversight on buffer zone​

Earlier this week, it was reported that Egypt has rejected a proposal by Israel for greater Israeli oversight over the buffer zone on the Egypt-Gaza border and is prioritizing efforts to broker a ceasefire before working on post-war arrangements.

The Egyptian sources said that during those talks Israel had approached Egypt about securing the Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow buffer zone along the border, as part of Israeli plans to prevent future attacks.

Israel believes the border between Egypt and Gaza is still porous, despite Egypt's efforts oof a few years ago to seal it, and peace cannot be easily established in Gaza if the terrorists can smuggle weapons into the strip, so Israel will push ahead with this plan even if Egypt objects; however I believe Egypt is only objecting because it doesn't want to be seen aiding a long term Israeli presence in Gaza.

The Zionist regime knows that America has their backs.

But it's not the same situation anymore in which there's no great risk.

It's highly likely that the opposition is trying to set up a situation in which the Zionists will become America's proxy.

What is intended to work against Russia, could be the blueprint for this war too.

Superpowers facing off against the other superpowers' proxies.

Will Iran be considered a superpower or just another proxy?

Israel probably has concerns about either the slow movement of aid into Gaza, or, the lax inspection process.

Both are possible, but I think this is about securing the route that most of the weapons follow into the Strip. They have to have control or all the fighting will just be repeated.

Did you really believe at any point that this would not happen as long as the US was playing its necessary part ? Which it is.

Of course not .
But part of me says that if the insane Israeli Nazis want to gamble on the long term existence of their own country , go ahead .
Iran , Russia and others will only sit around for so long and then all hell will break out .
And Deep State will be in continuous fits of laughter .

So Israel has basically told Egypt to stand down, while they annihilate muslims

I'll wager this'll work out poorly for them
