An Israeli delegation reportedly visited Egypt on Monday night to discuss the ongoing security arrangement between Cairo and Jerusalem and the ongoing war in Gaza after the United States encouraged Egypt to soften its stance on Israel, sources told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed last week.

The delegation discussed the Rafah border, the boundary between Egypt and Hamas-run Gaza, and the ongoing IDF presence in the Philadelphi Corridor.

Tensions between Israel and Egypt
During the four-hour visit, delegations also discussed the accusation that Egypt had violated the Camp David Accords, one source claimed.
The source claimed that “one of those objections included Egypt’s objection to the Israeli side’s installation of communications towers equipped with surveillance cameras at high altitudes in the Philadelphi Corridor after the Israeli army took control of the triangle adjacent to the Egyptian border, which poses a threat to Egyptian national security.”
