Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Ahmed Fathy Khalifa inspected the security measures on the border with the Gaza Strip on September 5, according to a statement by the Egyptian military.
Lt. Gen. Khalifa stressed that the primary mission of the Egyptian armed forces is to safeguard the state’s borders in all strategic directions, adding that “the armed forces are capable of defending the borders of the homeland, generation after generation.”
He also listened to a detailed report on the coordination between various units to ensure complete control over the international border around the clock, the statement added.
In addition, the senior military commander instructed the forces on the border to remain highly vigilant and get ready for emergencies.
The visit came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleged that weapons were being smuggled to the Hamas Movement in Gaza through the Philadelphi Corridor, a 14-kilometer-long buffer zone along the border between Egypt and the Strip.
Netanyahu has insisted on Israeli military presence in Philadelphi, claiming that the corridor is a “lifeline” for Hamas to rearm.
A high-level Egyptian source responded by saying that Netanyahu was making these claims to hinder talks on a ceasefire in Gaza.
The source told the Al-Qahera News Channel that “the past few months have proven that Netanyahu does not care about the return of the Israeli hostages [in Gaza] alive as long as it conflicts with his personal goals and interests.”
“Netanyahu’s statements lack realism and aim to shift the responsibility for his failure to achieve his objectives in Gaza, which is witnessing genocide, onto other countries,” said the source. “The Israeli Prime Minister’s promotion of weapons being smuggled from Egypt through alleged tunnels under the border] is yet another lie to justify his government’s failure to control the smuggling of weapons from Israel into Gaza.”
Egypt has been working with Qatar, and the United States to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas to end the ongoing war on Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 40,000 Palestinians and 1,600 Israelis since last October. However, previous rounds of talks have failed to achieve a breakthrough, mainly due to Netanyahu’s tough stance.

unlike the coup in ukraine, it is public information that the colour revolution coup in egypt just a year prior. this is from wiki: the 2013 egyptian coup d’etat took place on 3 july 2013. egyptian army chief general abdel fattah el-sisi led a coalition to remove the democratically elected president of egypt mohamed morsi from power and suspended the egyptian constitution of 2012.[9]
el sisi is a pro western puppet. the important thing is that the gulf arab states including saudi arabia are pivoting towards the east. saudi arabia just inked an important deal with china against washington’s wishes, obviously they realize that brics has surpassed the g7 economically, but it is becoming more apparent that it is also surpassing it militarily and soon even technologically…
when the gulf arab states embrace china. and china begins to exercise its geopolitical & geostrategic influence in the region, it will be the final nail in the coffin for israel. turkey has also realized that the future lies in pivoting towards the east & china and towards a multipolar reality.

the egyptians are whores who will do anything for us money. they grovel to the ziocons and have zero self respect. the gippos would do absolutely nothing even if the zios blew up al aqsa mosque – which they probably will soon. they have been in bed with talmudistan and stabbing the palestinians in the back for decades. they haven’t lifted a finger for them, not even breaking off diplomatic relations. they even let zios use their airspace to bomb gaza and murder children.
sisi is a us/ zio whore puppet. the us regime changed egypt to overthrow the elected moslem brotherhood government and put him in power. beneath contempt, no self respect, no dignity, nothing. all he can do is line his own pockets and oppress his own people.
