Schmaybe 50 Tunnels Crossing Into Their Country Why Egypt So Riled About Rafah?
2024-05-18
[Hot Air] Juuuussssttttt spitballin' here, but it certainly seems like we have an answer for Egypt's extraordinary pissiniss about Israel's plans to clear out Rafah.

I have to admit, this was the favored line of thinking over the past few weeks as the Biden administration sabotaged every Israeli move, and the Egyptians blustered and threatened. Almost to a one, folks weren't at all fooled. They were asking, "What is Egypt worried the Israelis are going to find?"

Well, hiya.

#7  They are getting kickbacks from Hamas and possibly Iran and Qatar in return. Egypt has serious economic and debt problems and could desperately use a source of income.

Egypt nothing - El Sisi & Co split the take.

#1  Sadly, it's not just Egypt that is "so riled."

Pay no mind to the locals and their various wartime business arrangements. Please if you will, focus on the shining new floating pier.
