Egypt refuses involvement in post-war Gaza security

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has rejected a proposal from the US to manage the security of the Gaza Strip after Hamas.

The proposal, which was put forward during a meeting between Sisi and CIA Director William Burns, would have seen Egypt take temporary control of the Gaza Strip before it was transferred to the Palestinian Authority, which is dominated by Hamas’s rival faction Fatah.

According to senior Egyptian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Wall Street Journal, Sisi said that Egypt would not help Israel against Hamas because it needed the group to ensure border security between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
