Netanyahu Warns of Egypt's Growing Military Capabilities

Pro-Israel narrative

Netanyahu’s warning about Egypt’s rising military power points to a stark reality: Cairo’s expanding presence in Somalia and the Sinai Peninsula threatens Israeli security. Egypt is building offensive infrastructure — including extended runways and underground missile facilities — in treaty-restricted areas and deploying thousands of troops to Somalia to counter Israeli influence in the Horn of Africa. This escalation demands U.S. intervention to protect Israel’s strategic position near the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
