Smotrich: If Egypt Attacks Us, There Will Be No Sinai

Tel Aviv - Afaq News - Israeli Finance Minister "Bezalel Smotrich" confirmed that "there will be no Sinai if Egypt attacks Israel," during a video interview ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in Israel, pointing to the ongoing conflicts.

Smotrich explained that what prevents Egypt from attacking Israel is its awareness that in the event of an attack, "there will be no Sinai, at least," ruling out the repetition of such a scenario.

The Israeli minister noted that Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah are "weaker than ever," asserting that such conditions have not occurred before. He added, speaking about the Gaza Strip: "82% of the houses there are destroyed, and we control between 60 to 70% of the area, which has become ruins," considering that this encourages migration from Gaza.
