Nonresident Senior Fellow Shahira Amin, the former Deputy Head of Egypt’s Channel Nile TV, says that Egypt’s government “fears that the violence on its doorstep may spill over into its territory and that Israeli airstrikes would result in a mass exodus of Gazans into the Sinai Peninsula.”

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has categorically rejected the crossing of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents into the Sinai Desert as a ‘liquidation of the Palestinian cause,’ calling instead for a diplomatic resolution mediated by the West.
