Israeli media discusses the failure of the normalization agreement between Egypt and "Israel," asserting that this normalization is "fictitious", following the operation of Egyptian policeman turned martyr Mohamed Salah in Sinai, on the Egyptian border with Occupied Palestine.

"Israel" continues to live in the aftermath of the shooting operation carried out by the martyred Egyptian policeman, Mohamed Salah, in Egypt's Sinai region, in which 3 Israeli soldiers were killed.

The operation made clear the reality of "hatred of Israel in Egypt", bringing the topic back to the forefront as the most recent operation materializes that hate and makes tangible the extent to which the Egyptian people continue to stand for the liberation of Palestine.

Israeli media indicated that "in Israel, they rushed to sweep under the rug the shooting attack last week against Israeli army soldiers on the border with Egypt." Still, this operation, according to Israeli Media, contains multiple dimensions of understanding regarding Israeli normalization with Egypt.

In this context, the Israeli journalist, Chaim Levinson, wrote in Haaretz that the normalization agreement between "Israel" and Egypt is a "fictitious agreement", stressing that "there is no peace between the Egyptian people and the Israelis."

"Israelis are not welcome in Egypt," Levinson explained, pointing out that "Egyptians do not visit Israel, while trade relations between the two parties are hidden."

It is noteworthy that in the first months of the 1980s, the normalization agreement signed between Egypt and "Israel" entered into force, as ambassadors were exchanged, boycott laws were abolished, and some trade agreements were concluded.

Albeit less than what the occupation government aspired to in terms of economic trade, it remained that in the spring of the same year, regular flights were also launched between Cairo and "Tel Aviv".

It is important to note that the Egyptian people were never consulted before late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat decided to visit the occupied Palestinian territories on November 19, 1977, only to sign the "peace treaty" with the occupation government in March 1979, following the Camp David Accords of 1978.

During that time, the Egyptian people kept seizing opportunity after opportunity to express their rejection of the diplomatic concessions made by Sadat, which contributed to strengthening the regional status of the occupation.

Significantly, what triggered the Egyptian public the most, following normalization, was the restriction of the presence of the Egyptian army in the Sinai region.

That is because according to the "peace treaty", the presence of the Egyptian forces became limited to two-thirds of the Sinai Peninsula (Areas B and C). This was enough to disrupt development processes in Sinai later.

'Unexpected humiliating blow': Israeli media on Egypt border operation

Israeli media outlets took special notice of the operation at the Palestinian-Egyptian border which took "Israel" by storm, as the blunders of the Israeli occupation forces have become one of the hottest debated topics within the colonial entity. 

The details of the operation, which was described as "brutal", are unclear, prompting troubled discussions in Israeli circles ranging from issues related to the occupation forces' doctrine to basic operational readiness in order to deal with the "multifront war" it faces. 

Amos Harel, the military affairs expert for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, pointed to the vulnerability of the Israeli forces as he called for "a thorough military investigation into deficiencies that made it [the operation] possible and to review defense along this border," which has seen relative quiet as "Israel" has been able to coordinate security-wise with the successive Egyptian governments.

Harel believes that the event should push the Israeli forces to "reexamine the entire defense strategy and assess whether there is an appropriate balance among forces, posts, and means of observation, given the extraordinary length of the border," which is around 240 km long.

The Israeli expert said the incident was "serious and exceptional both in its circumstances and in its fatal outcome," adding that such events are usually pinned on soldiers or police officers who "went crazy", however, this major security breach should be further examined.
