Israel ‘concerned’ about Egypt’s military buildup in Sinai, report says

Israel has expressed concern over Egypt's increasing military presence in the Sinai Peninsula, viewing it as a source of rising tension. The buildup has become a significant point of contention, with Israeli officials claiming it violates the 1979 peace treaty. Specifically, Israel alleges the construction of military infrastructure could be used for offensive operations in areas where only lightly armed forces are permitted. After failing to resolve the issue in direct talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly asked the US administration to intervene.
