“Egypt initially predicted a strike like the Hamas attack and warned the Israeli officials. Israelis denied this was true, and are now trying to gain support from the Egyptians. The Gaza attack has resulted in Egyptians blocking the border from Gaza and beyond. Now that war has officially broken out in the area, Egypt has been skeptical about becoming involved.
This is crucial because Egypt and Israel are neighbors, and have remained as peaceful partners. However, it’s important now this conflict has escalated how Israel’s neighbors will continue to treat them.”
