Egypt is armed to the teeth - this is terrifying. Israel risks getting caught in a Sunni vise between Egypt and Turkey.
Israel should ice France out of any negotiations. But imposing a trade embargo is a bad idea -- there's enough BDS boycotting of Israel going on without making the situation even worse. Israel and Turkey still have significant trade despite the diplomatic tensions and having recalled ambassadors.
I may have asked this question before, but where does Egypt -dirt poor, as you say- get the money to pay for advanced weapons? And are they arming against a future contest with Israel, or is there someone else they're sore at?
Very good. I'm not hearing this anywhere else yet.
Macron knows not what he does...

Their army has been training to fight Israel for years. They have no enemies on the border.
As for the money- take from the poor and give to the army.
Or maybe France itself is lending them the money.
