Mustafa Bakri says notion of Israeli forces controlling ‘Philadelphi Route’ along Egyptian border is an attack on sovereignty, urges use of force to prevent ‘enemy’s plan
ed note–again, ladies and Gentile-men, ‘the conversation’ that should be taking place, is not.
Yes, Israel intends to violate the 1979 peace treaty via the mechanism of the present genocide taking place in Gaza right now, but ‘the conversation’ that should be taking place–and especially on the part of lawmakers/leaders throughout the Middle East and beyond is as follows–
THE JEWS INTEND TO START WWIII/ARMAGEDDON AND TO SET THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST ON FIRE BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEIR TORAH JUDAH-ISM COMMANDS THEM TO DO…
But this is a ‘conversation’ that very few, VERY, VERY FEW, are willing to have, and even when they know this to be the case.

An Egyptian lawmaker on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for saying that once Israel concludes its war in the Gaza Strip, Israel will retain security control of the enclave’s territory along the border with Egypt.
Mustafa Bakri, a member of the Egyptian House of Representatives, denounced the idea as an attack on Egyptian sovereignty and a violation of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt, and urged Cairo to wield its military might to prevent the scheme.
Netanyahu on Saturday night declared at a press conference that the Philadelphi Route, also known as the Philadelphi Corridor, which runs for 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) all along the Gaza-Egypt border, ‘has to be in our hands’ to ensure that Gaza remains demilitarized when the fighting ends.
Netanyahu’s assertion ‘that the Philadelphi Route area on the Egyptian border should be under Israeli control, is a blatant assault on the peace agreement between the two countries,’ Barki posted to X, formerly Twitter. ‘Don’t come close. The Egyptian border is a red line. It seems that you do not know the power of our army and the ability of our people.’
In a follow-up post, Bakri called for a decisive response to Netanyahu’s ‘insolence.’
‘The threat to occupy the Philadelphi route must be met with an official protest and a declared warning because this represents a violation of the peace agreement signed between the two countries,’ he wrote. ‘It represents an attack on Egyptian sovereignty.’
Bakri said that the deployment of Israeli forces along the route would cause ‘the suffocation of Gaza’ and make it a ‘large prison,’ while enabling Israel to enforce ‘a permanent siege whenever it wants.’
Bakri also warned it would force the displacement of Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula.
‘Silence will not be effective with them [the Israelis], and we are confident that the leadership and the army will not allow the enemy to implement its plans,’ he said.
War erupted with Hamas’s October 7 massacre, in which terrorists rampaged through southern communities, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking some 240 hostages to Gaza. Israel responded with a military campaign to destroy Hamas, remove it from power in Gaza, and release the hostages.
During his Saturday night press conference, Netanyahu also said that after the war, Gaza will not be governed by any entity ‘that finances terrorism, that educates its children for terrorism and that pays the families of terrorism,’ a reference to the Palestinian Authority, which pays stipends to terror convicts and the families of slain terrorists. ‘Not Fatahstan and not Hamastan,’ he said of the future Gaza.
Since the war started, Egypt has been concerned about a possible mass influx of Palestinians from Gaza seeking safety from the fighting in Sinai. It has positioned troops, including tanks, at the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
