Going by past military history..... I'm not sure I'd stake my life on that.

Last I remember, Egypt started a war and called 'uncle' to keep Israel from rolling them up.

“By establishing facilities in Egypt, group aims to protect its assets since it believes Israel won’t strike targets inside Egypt due to affect it would have on bilateral relations.”

This is called “Arab reasoning”. It tends to be majical thinking rather than solidly fixed in reality.

By permitting Hamas to do this, Egypt has already effectively declared war on Israel. So why would Israel care about their relationship with Egypt?

Oh, that’s right, Israel is even more infested with leftscum than America. JINO leftscum who care about a fake paper “peace” ala Nevil Chamberlin.

Sigh.
