On Tuesday, during a session at the World Government Summit in Dubai, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmad Aboul Gheit, cautioned that the ongoing Israeli aggression poses a risk to the collective agreements signed between "Israel" and a number of Arab nations, particularly with countries like Egypt and Jordan.
He stressed that "Israel's" current behavior jeopardizes the stability of these agreements, adding that the United States must "pressure Israel to stop its current policies in Gaza, otherwise the Middle East will become inflamed on a scale hitherto unseen."
Aboul Gheit further highlighted the Israeli plans to forcibly relocate Palestinians from their territories, whether in Gaza or the West Bank, thereby clearing the way for Israeli expansion. He emphasized that such actions would have ramifications "for generations to come," stressing the importance of rational decision-making and the cessation of such policies.
Two days ago, Egypt threatened to dissolve its normalization agreement with "Israel" if the occupation deployed a concentration of forces along its border with the Gazan city of Rafah.
Two Egyptian officials and a Western diplomat stated on Sunday that in case "Israel" makes the move, Egypt would be forced to block the Rafah crossing, currently the only humanitarian corridor that is supplying Gaza with relief aid.
This comes a day after Cairo sent warnings to "Israel" regarding their diplomatic relations - that these may cease in case the Israeli forces launch a full-scale invasion of the city of Rafah, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"Any ground operation in Rafah would lead to an immediate suspension of the peace treaty between the two countries," the report says, citing sources.
