Egypt has threatened to suspend the implementation of the "Camp David" peace agreement, if the Israeli occupation army carries out a military operation in Rafah. The peace agreement signed between the two parties prohibits one party from moving in border areas without the approval of the other party.
Observers believe that Cairo's political options are limited in the face of the Israeli insistence on storming Rafah, adjacent to the Egyptian border. The main goal of the anticipated Rafah operation is "displacing the Palestinians to Sinai," says Hani Khallaf.
