Egypt officially responded to the statements made by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich regarding Sinai.

A knowledgeable source confirmed Egypt's rejection of the inclusion of "Sinai" in the statements issued by the Israeli finance minister, emphasizing that these hollow threats coincide with Egypt's celebrations of the October victory, which negates the need for any assurances regarding the Egyptian state's full capacity to protect its territory and maintain its independence in the face of any dangers.

The source explained that the Israeli minister's statements regarding Sinai and the plans to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip represent a blatant and cheap attempt to use an empty escalatory rhetoric to achieve narrow electoral goals.

The source pointed out that the entire international community is fully aware that the Israeli occupation authorities bear full responsibility for creating nearly impossible living conditions in Gaza, in a systematic attempt to push the residents of the strip to leave their land and liquidate the Palestinian cause.

In this context, the source reiterated the steadfast Egyptian position that has not and will not change, which categorically rejects the displacement of the people of Gaza from their land.

The source concluded by affirming that Egypt will never accept being dragged into political bidding, and firmly insists on its position rejecting interference in internal affairs or infringing upon national and sovereign constants.

A state of anger prevailed in Egypt following the statements made by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in which he warned that there would be no Sinai if Egypt attacked Israel.

These threats came during a video interview conducted by the Israeli minister from his home, ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Israel, in an attempt to exploit the Egyptian issue as electoral propaganda for his political standing.

In decisive reactions, Egyptian researchers in military and strategic affairs considered these statements to reflect a state of political adolescence and complete ignorance of the nature of the Egyptian state and the balance of power in the region, emphasizing that he should know that today, Tuesday, marks the anniversary of October 6.

In previous statements to "Al-Arabiya.net" and "Al-Hadath.net", they confirmed that Egypt's sovereignty over the Sinai Peninsula is a red line that is non-negotiable and not subject to electoral maneuvering, emphasizing that the Egyptian armed forces possess the full capability and readiness to protect their territory, while warning the Israeli government of the consequences of this rhetoric that threatens the stability of the region and undermines the peace treaty.
