Egypt-Israel relations - a strategic overview

In one of his last official acts before vacating the office he held since Spring 2020, Defense Minister Benny Gantz went out of his way to praise Egypt as Israel’s peaceful neighbour and strategic partner. Gantz reacted furiously to a statement by a junior but crucial member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s emerging coalition, who insisted Egypt is an enemy of the Jewish State. What are the true dimensions of the Israeli-Egyptian relations, and should Cairo be concerned as it watches the Jerusalem political drama unfold?

To discuss it we are joined from central Israel by Col. (Res.) Reuven Ben-Shalom, TV7 Powers-in-Play Panelist, Cross-Cultural Strategist and Associate at ICT, Reichman University
Also joining us from the Jerusalem area is
Dr. Ofir Winter, Senior Researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, and Amir Oren.
