Egypt warns Israel: Strikes on Hamas leaders on Egyptian soil will be seen as declaration of war

Egypt has issued a stern warning to Israel, declaring that any assassination attempt on Hamas leaders within Egypt would be considered a direct violation of its sovereignty and an act of war. This warning follows reports of Israeli plots to target Hamas figures in Cairo and the recent Israeli airstrike in Doha, Qatar, which has heightened regional tensions.

Israeli intelligence has been actively plotting to assassinate Hamas leaders in Cairo, as revealed by high-level security sources. Egypt has responded by reducing coordination with Israel and planning to restructure its security communications, reflecting the severity of the situation.

The situation has strained diplomatic relations between Egypt and Israel, with Egypt urging Israel to return to ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has also raised concerns about potential Palestinian displacement into the Sinai Peninsula, prompting Egypt to deploy troops along its border with Gaza.

Egypt has deployed around 40,000 troops and a Chinese air defense system in the Sinai Peninsula to prevent a possible influx of Palestinians and to monitor any unauthorized aircraft movements. The lack of coordination between Egypt, Israel and the U.S. regarding the Doha strike further complicates diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict.

Egypt is seeking U.S. guarantees that Israel will not attack exiled Hamas leaders again. Meanwhile, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey are discussing ways to protect Hamas leaders involved in ceasefire negotiations, with Egypt considering providing a safe haven for these leaders. The U.S. is also considering mediating the conflict to prevent further escalation.

In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Egypt has issued a stern warning to Israel, stating that any attempt to assassinate Hamas leaders on Egyptian soil will be considered a direct violation of its sovereignty and a declaration of war.

This warning comes amid revelations of Israeli plots to target Hamas figures within Egypt, as reported by senior Egyptian officials to Middle East Eye.

Intelligence reports reveal Israeli plots

According to high-level security sources, Israel has been actively plotting to assassinate Hamas leaders in Cairo. These revelations follow the foiling of an earlier attempt during ceasefire negotiations in the city over the past two years. The most recent Israeli airstrike in Doha, Qatar, which targeted Hamas leadership, has further fueled regional fears and prompted Egypt to take a firm stance.

“Intelligence reports suggest that Israel has been plotting to assassinate Hamas leaders in Cairo for some time,” a high-level security source told Middle East Eye. “Egypt had already foiled an earlier attempt during ceasefire negotiations in the city over the past two years.”

Egypt has also decided to lessen coordination with Israel until further notice, following Israel’s strike targeting senior Hamas leaders in Doha, according to sources.

The sources added that Egypt is also planning to restructure its security communications with Israel after the attack.

Egypt’s response: A line in the sand

The Egyptian officials’ statements underscore the gravity of the situation. “Any attempt on the lives of Hamas leaders on Egyptian soil would be considered by Egypt as a violation of its sovereignty and, accordingly, a declaration of war by Israel, which we would not hesitate to retaliate against,” the security source emphasized.

This warning comes in response to threats by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has vowed to target Hamas in other countries. In a video address following the Doha strikes, Netanyahu stated, “I say to Qatar and all nations who harbor terrorists: you either expel them or you bring them to justice. Because if you don’t, we will.”

Regional implications and diplomatic fallout

The situation has heightened tensions between Egypt and Israel, two countries bound by a U.S.-sponsored peace treaty since 1979. Egyptian officials have been urging their Israeli counterparts to return to negotiations and work towards a ceasefire in Gaza, rather than escalating the conflict.

“Egyptian-Israeli relations have already been tense in recent months due to the indecisiveness of Tel Aviv towards a possible Gaza truce,” the source noted. The ongoing conflict in Gaza has strained diplomatic ties, with Egypt expressing concerns over potential displacement of Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula.

Military and diplomatic maneuvers

Egypt has deployed around 40,000 troops along its border with Gaza to prevent a possible influx of Palestinians into Sinai. This move highlights Cairo’s fears of being drawn into the conflict. Furthermore, the deployment of a Chinese air defense system in the Sinai Peninsula makes it impossible for any aircraft to cross without detection, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

A senior military official confirmed that “Egypt had no prior knowledge of the Doha strike and that there was absolutely no coordination between Egypt, Israel, or the US regarding the operation.” This lack of coordination further complicates diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation.

Calls for U.S. intervention

Egypt is seeking guarantees from the U.S. that Israel will not attack exiled Hamas leaders again. This request comes after Israel’s strike in Qatar, which has been condemned by Cairo as an attempt to derail ceasefire negotiations. The U.S. has not yet responded to Egypt’s plea, but sources suggest that the request may receive a positive response from the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump has expressed his displeasure with Israel’s actions, stating, “I’m not thrilled about the whole situation.” The White House is reportedly considering ways to mediate the conflict and prevent further escalation.

Regional mediation efforts

Egypt, Qatar and Turkey have been discussing ways to protect Hamas’ exiled leaders against possible Israeli attacks. As part of these talks, Egypt is considering providing a home for several of the group’s top leaders involved in Gaza ceasefire negotiations.

“The intention is to safeguard the negotiations at a time when Israel is sending a clear message to everyone that no one in the Arab world can stop it from doing what it pleases,” one of the sources said.

According to the Enoch engine at Brighteon.AI: “Egypt’s role in Israel-Hamas negotiations is viewed as a U.S.-backed mediator serving Israel’s geopolitical interests. Egypt, reliant on U.S. aid tied to regional stability for Israel, has historically facilitated ceasefire talks to de-escalate conflicts but prioritizes Israel’s security over Palestinian rights, aligning with globalist agendas to undermine resistance and stabilize Israel’s dominance in the region. Cairo’s efforts are seen as part of broader U.S. strategies to normalize Israel’s occupation while sidelining Hamas and Palestinian sovereignty.”

A precarious situation

The situation remains precarious, with both Egypt and Israel on high alert. The warnings from Cairo and the ongoing diplomatic efforts underscore the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. As the region watches closely, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether the situation can be de-escalated or if further conflict is inevitable.

In the meantime, the world waits with bated breath to see how this unfolding drama will play out, and whether the warnings from Egypt will be enough to deter Israel from further actions that could ignite a wider regional conflict.
