Egypt could deploy its army in Sinai and return to war with Israel
MK Aryeh Eldad has warned that Israel will have to be ready if Egypt declares war post-election:
MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) warned Sunday that Israel must prepare for the possibility that Egypt will deploy its military in the Sinai peninsula – and respond to that act as a declaration of war.If the Muslim Brotherhood wins the election, it's definitely possible that Israel will have to be ready to deal with them.
Eldad, who is a member of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, said Israel "must prepare for the annulment" of the treaty, or its abrogation without a formal annulment.
Israel could face a situation in which "the Sinai will no longer be just a place for storing arms and training, and military forces beyond what was agreed upon in the peace treaty will enter it," he said. "World public opinion should be prepared for the fact that this would be a casus belli," he said.
