Netanyahu asked U.S. to press Egypt on military build up in Sinai

1. Submission – Israel has asked the U.S. to pressure Egypt over what it says is a major military build-up in the Sinai, including extended runways and underground facilities that may violate the 1979 peace treaty restricting Egypt’s deployments there. The alleged build-up comes amid strained ties between Cairo and Jerusalem during the Gaza war, raising fears of treaty erosion and regional instability. While Israel points to reduced observer flights and insufficient Egyptian explanations, Washington now faces a balancing act: enforce treaty terms to reassure Israel while avoiding a rupture with Egypt, a key partner in counterterrorism and border control.
