Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 17 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 17 Egypt is rapidly constructing a walled buffer zone on the border of eastern Sinai in the event of an exodus of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel‘s war against Hamas, the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights, a nongovernmental organization based in London, said this week. The Egyptian armed forces commissioned the project to build a 12- to 15-square-mile, high-security gated and isolated compound surrounded by 7-foot-tall walls near their border with the Palestinian enclave, the Sinai Foundation said. “The erection of a security perimeter around a specified and open stretch of land are serious signals that Egypt could be preparing to accept and allow the displacement of the people of Gaza into Sinai, in coordination with Israel and the United States,” said Mohannad Sabry, a researcher specializing in Sinai and Egyptian security, according to the Sinai Foundation.
