Israeli Intelligence and Political Circles are starting to doubt the validity and constraints of the Camp David Treaty, signed in 1979, and considered one of the most important treaties in relations to Israel.
The Mossad believes that :
1 - The Egyptian Border Security forces have become "lackluster" and purposefully allow certain smuggling operations to occur unrestricted, this comes after #Hamas and all other organizations in #Gaza purged themselves of #MuslimBrotherhood elements and made promises that the weapons and arms being sent to them will not be smuggled back or directed towards Egyptian forces.
2 - The Egyptian government refuses to cooperate with the Israeli one on the recent shootout that killed 4 Israeli soldiers stationed on the border, Mossad believes that the higher-ups, under the table, are purposefully being "off-hands" in regards to the soldiers and that more operations committed are possible, and that the Egyptian border can not be considered "safe." anymore.
3 - Mossad notes that Egypt has become the third largest importer of #weapons globally over the past several years, and a sizeable amount of the weapons imported are of an offensive nature, coupled with points 1 and point 2, alongside other points that will be written about, the situation can escalate from "cold peace" to passive or outright hostility.
4 - Israeli lobby attempts in #Germany to prevent the sale of Type 209 #Submarines, which directly threaten the Israeli navy presence in the #RedSea and the Eastern àMediterranean, have failed, although they are succeeding in America by forcing the Americans to refuse to upgrade the arms of "sensitive" fields - like the #Airforce, the same efforts are not bearing fruits in other countries.
5 - The Attempts of diversification from American arms, although tolerated at first, are now considered a national security threat to Israel, because one of the main points of the Camp David Treaty was that Israel would always maintain a Qualitative Edge over American-supplied partners in the region, the recent purchase of #Russian, àChinese, #Indian, #SouthKorean, and #European countries arms, with most of these purchases being of an offensive nature, is causing circles in #TelAviv to be seriously concerned, especially there are Hardliners of a Military and Political nature in Egypt who never believed in #CampDavid in the first place as a long term plan, a researcher at the Israeli Command and Staff college and #Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security links this path to the same one taken by #Nasser, a staunch Egyptian leader who fought 3 #wars against Israel.
6 - Normalization with #Iran is panicking the Israelis, and coupled with the previous points, the noose is figurately, and perhaps literally, being tightened around their necks.
7 - àMossad also noted that although #Egypt is ranked around 40-45th globally in terms of military spending, the quantity, and increase of size, logistical centers, and military factories has increased the standing of Egypt, militarily and industrially, on a regional and international scale around the top 20.
