Netanyahu Asks Trump to Halt Egypt's Actions

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has requested the United States to put pressure on Egypt regarding the increase of military presence in Sinai, arguing that it violates the peace treaty established in 1979, Axios reports.

Israel claims that Egypt has expanded its air bases, constructed underground facilities, and inexplicably increased the number of troops near the Gaza area.

Tensions are rising as Egypt fears that Israel could force Gaza's population into Sinai, while Israel accuses Egypt of obstructing refugees.

Direct negotiations have failed, prompting Israel to seek assistance from the U.S., yet Egypt denies any violations.
