Israel's Gaza plan sparks Egyptian anger, fears of military buildup

Egypt is angered by Israel’s new plan to seize Gaza and establish a permanent presence, raising concerns of increased military buildup along their shared border. The strategy, discussed in an Israeli cabinet meeting, aims to empty northern and central Gaza, pushing over 2 million residents south toward Egypt’s Sinai. Under an Israeli-led pilot program, humanitarian aid will be distributed in the southern "humanitarian zone" via two U.S. firms, tightening pressure on Hamas. Egypt, mediating for a ceasefire with Qatar, warns the plan worsens Gaza’s crisis.
