Concerns are rising on social media and international news outlets about Egypt’s growing military presence in the Sinai region. Undisclosed footage shows the Egyptian military’s mustering in Zone B of the Camp David Accords demarcation, including American M1A1 Abrams tanks typically assigned to Egypt’s elite battalions.
Israeli websites, including JFeed, Ynetnews, IsraelHayom, JNS, and various others have been posting concern-bait articles about how Egypt is going to invade Israel. Emphasis is placed on how Egypt’s military build-up violates the Camp David Accords of 1979.

Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, has voiced complaints that Egypt is building bases in the Sinai “for offensive operations and offensive weapons.” His complaints were raised in a speech in New York, videos of which have been scrubbed from the internet.
Mr Leiter’s speech video was likely deleted because it misrepresented the current military status quo in Sinai. The Camp David Accords created an international peacekeeping force, Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), responsible for coordinating troop movements with the militaries of Israel and Egypt in Sinai.

The MFO is manned mostly by the US Army National Guard. Egypt’s military must seek American and Israeli permission for any equipment brought into the Sinai region.
The original Camp David agreement limited Egypt’s presence in the Sinai to a single army division (up to 22,000 troops, 480 APCs, 230 tanks, 126 artillery pieces) in Zone A (the Western-most region of Sinai, farthest from Israel), this limit has repeatedly been increased with Israel’s permission.
In 2018, Israel allowed Egypt to more than double its military presence in Sinai reaching up to 42,000 troops and 88 battalions. A couple of years later in 2021, this limit was mutually increased again. Local sources in the Sinai have confirmed that Egypt’s army build-up precedes the October 2023 Gaza invasion by Israel, and is related to Egypt’s counter-terrorism efforts.
Indeed, Egypt in recent years has deepened its military cooperation with Israel. The Israeli Air Force was permitted to strike in the Sinai as much as 100 times in only a few years.
The deepening cooperation between Egypt and Israel, and the fact that Israel has repeatedly allowed Egypt to move more military forces into the Sinai points to the conclusion that Egypt is not moving forward to attack Israel.
Egypt’s Defence Minister Abdel Mageed Saqr recently instructed Egypt’s Third Field Army to maintain a high level of operational readiness. While this could be seen as an aggravating move, it is important to recognise that Egypt’s Third Field Army, historically responsible for defending the Suez and southern Sinai, would need to seek Israel’s permission before any new deployments.
Egypt has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip into Egypt. This ‘readiness’ announcement can be seen as political posturing, a warning, that Egypt would resort to a military response.

When Israel broke the Treaty
Aside from the Israeli media propaganda, there is no substantial evidence to indicate that Egypt is mustering its military in the Sinai (no, poorly edited videos from old parades and exercises on social media do not count). An argument can be made that Egypt has (under Israeli supervision) mostly honoured the 1979 peace treaty.
However, the 1979 peace treaty mandates that Israel cannot have tanks in Zone D (covering the Philadelphi corridor). The Accords also forbid Israel from unilaterally controlling the border between Egypt and mandated Palestine. Israel violated both mandates in the summer of 2024 when Israeli tanks marched into Rafah and seized control of the Philadelphi corridor.
Then-U.S. President Joe Biden said that Rafah was a red line that Israel should not cross. Months later, the Israeli media is now poking at the West to start claiming that Egypt is breaking the Camp David Accords. Hypocrisy at its finest.
