Egypt reportedly warns Israel peace treaty will be suspended if Palestinians are driven into Sinai.

Egypt had conveyed a harsh message to Israel, saying that “if even one Palestinian refugee crosses over — the peace agreement will be nullified,” a source told the Israeli newspaper.

Another source reportedly said Cairo’s message was that “even if one Palestinian  refugee crosses over — the peace agreement will be suspended.” 

No country would allow such a large number of Palestinian refugees to enter its territory, one of the sources reportedly said, adding that it would become “a permanent Egyptian problem.”
