Mohamed Morsi: What Sinai military campaign?
In an interview to Reuter, Egyptian President Morsi said Egypt’s “neighbor” had nothing to fear from “a new military campaign in Sinai…” after gunmen attacked an Egyptian border post killing 16 guards. Egypt does not threaten anyone and its military campaign is in “full respect to international treaties.”
DEBKAfile: Israel is concerned by the buildup of military strength and armor across the Sinai border – especially as there is no sign of the oft-promised Egyptian anti-terror campaign. Indeed, instead of fighting armed Islamist groups linked to al Qaeda, Egyptian leaders are seeking accommodations.
