An Israeli far-right minister threatened to occupy Egypt's Sinai Peninsula if Cairo changes its position and attacks the occupation state, Shehab Wire reported. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich made the threat in response to potential Egyptian military action against Israel.
The statement reflects escalating rhetoric from Israeli hardliners amid ongoing regional tensions. Smotrich is known for controversial positions on Palestinian territory and has previously made inflammatory statements regarding Israeli territorial expansion.
