Egypt’s political and cultural figures request Al-Sisi Rafah to do something immediately.
Political and cultural figures of Egypt asked the president of this country to take immediate action to stop the attack of the Zionist regime on Rafah and send a deterrent message to this regime to make it clear that Cairo will not remain silent in the face of this attack.
Following the early morning attack of the Zionist regime on Rafah on Monday (February 12) and the martyrdom of more than 100 Palestinian citizens, the political and cultural figures of Egypt asked the President of this country, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, to announce to the world that if the Israeli attacks continue on Rafah and nearby Coming to the borders of Egypt, Cairo will not remain closed and silent.
Professor of Political Science at Cairo University, Hassan Nafea, pointed out that the decisive hour for Gaza is near and Netanyahu insists on attacking Rafah after the forced deportation of more than one million Palestinians. It has not yet reached the level of this dangerous event, the president is obliged to personally send a deterrent message and say that Egypt will not stand idly by and at the same time call for an emergency meeting of Arab heads of state.
Egyptian writer Osama Al-Alfi also demanded that Abdel Fattah al-Sisi visit the Rafah crossing and declare the solidarity of the Egyptian government and people with the struggle and vindication of the rights of the Palestinian people and refute the Israeli rumors about Cairo agreeing to the destruction of the resistance.
In this regard, the former head of the Union of Egyptian Journalists asked those who still have the illusion of Egyptian, Arab, Islamic, American, or European intervention to protect the residents of southern Gaza, that all of these parties should protect the residents of northern and central Gaza, who have been fighting for more than four months. They are facing genocide, what did they do?
Mustafa Bakri, a journalist and one of the people close to the Egyptian government, also said that the air, ground, and sea bombardment against our people started in Rafah and left hundreds of martyrs and wounded. Children are homeless and death follows them everywhere from north to south. Our army is on standby to deal with any developments, and the national security and borders of Egypt are a red line, and all the people of Egypt support their army and the commander-in-chief.
He clarified: “Our land is sacred and we are not attached to the West and America, but we count on ourselves and our great army to protect our national land and reject the destruction of the Palestinian cause. What is happening in Gaza is a “holocaust” that is unprecedented in modern history and a source of shame for the whole world and shows the collapse of all international organizations and conventions.
The Secretary General of the Arab National Conference and one of the prominent Egyptian politicians, Hamdeen Sabahi, had previously emphasized in an interview with Al-Mayadin that Egypt will not be under the burden of an attack on Rafah because this aggression is an aggression against Egypt. If the Israeli army invades Rafah, it will mean violating the will of Egypt, and if the military operations against Rafah expand, the Camp David agreement will be torn.
But in contrast, some Egyptian personalities stated in an interview with Al-Olyum that in light of Tel Aviv’s continued insistence on attacking Rafah, tearing up the Camp David agreement is not worth it in the face of Israel’s military operations on Egypt’s borders. Others expect the border wall to be bombed to open corridors and avenues for Palestinians to escape to Egypt, which would be Tel Aviv’s worst and most humiliating scenario against Cairo.
However, two Egyptian officials and a Western diplomat told the Associated Press on Sunday that Egypt may suspend the Camp David peace treaty if Israeli forces attack Rafah. A treaty that was preserved despite two Palestinian uprisings and several wars between Israel and Hamas, but this time with Benjamin Netanyahu’s promise to send Israeli forces to the city of Rafah on the border with Egypt, the conditions are different, and the Egyptian government has threatened that in this case the peace agreement will cancel Camp David.
