Egypt Threatens to Suspend Key Peace Treaty if Israel Pushes into Rafah on Its Border, Officials Say

Yesterday, the Jerusalem Post ran a piece under the headline


noting:

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry sharply criticized Hamas on Saturday, saying that "the organization is outside the Palestinian consensus, which recognizes Israel and wants to reach negotiations with it, because [Hamas] is not ready to give up its support for violence."​
Shoukry made these comments at a press conference held at the Munich Security Conference. He also said that "we must give an account of how Hamas gained power in the Gaza Strip, and why it received financial support to increase the division between it and the other peacekeeping Palestinian factions – whether these are the Palestinian Authority, the PLO or the Palestinian public itself."​

Referencing the same comment, Haaretz added:

As for financing and empowering Hamas, there's no need to rack one's brain over whom Shoukry meant. But blaming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for empowering Hamas can't obscure the role played by Egypt and Qatar. [source]​

Meanwhile, ynetnews reports ...

"Recent statements made by Israel's prime minister, calling for Qatar to pressure Hamas on the release of hostages are a new attempt to prolong the war, for reasons we are all aware of," Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari said on Monday. [source]​

I find it truly hard to quantify the massive damage being wrought by the Netanyahu coalition.
