If Israel goes beyond its limits, the battle will be in Israel.
According to Rasha Todi, Mustafa Bakri, an Egyptian parliamentarian and journalist, said in an interview with Rashatoudi: Israel is well aware of the power of the Egyptian army, and if it goes beyond its borders, the battle will be in Tel Aviv, not in Rafah.
Bakri emphasized in a statement to Rasha Today TV: Egypt has a powerful army that can stop anyone who dares to harm Egypt’s national security, and Israel is well aware of this.
He added: “The intervention of the United States and the West to establish a ceasefire is nothing but the result of Egypt’s actions, which have given clear messages to Israel regarding Egypt’s red lines, and the United States knows very well what the Egyptian army is and what it is capable of.”
He added: The threats of some Israeli extremists, such as Bezalel Smutrich, the Minister of Finance, as well as the reports published by the magazine attributed to the Ministry of Defense of Israel and their incitement against the Egyptian army and the sending of Palestinians to Sinai will not go unanswered, because Egypt’s borders are a red line and a security threat. “Melli increases the tension by any means.”
Bakri clarified: “Don’t underestimate the Egyptian army and its power. “Our army is capable of threatening and punishing anyone who transgresses.”
In the end, he said: “Egypt is not looking for war and deals with issues very wisely, but if war is imposed on us, the October 1973 war is still fresh in our minds.”
