Resentment against US grows in Egypt's defence establishment as Rafah heats up

Four decades after brokering a historic peace deal, the US is back to solving a basic problem - stopping Egyptians and Israelis from fighting.

The Biden administration’s near unconditional support for Israel’s war on Gaza is stoking resentment towards the US among Egypt’s powerful defence establishment, complicating the administration’s bid to revive ties between Cairo and Israel to reach a Gaza ceasefire. Egypt’s Supreme Military Council, the General Intelligence Service and other defence officials are angry that the US has sided with Israel over its invasion of Rafah and seizure of the Philadelphi Corridor, a former Egyptian official briefed by members of Egypt’s intelligence community, told Middle East Eye. “Within the defence and intelligence establishment Camp David is dead,” the former official said, referring to the 1978 accords that laid the foundation for a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt a year later, underwritten by the US.
Riccardo Fabiani, at the International Crisis Group, described US-Egypt ties at the moment as “triangular”. “The tensions between Egypt and Israel on the Gaza border are effectively fuelling tensions between the US and Egypt.”
