The Jerusalem Post reports: “During talks between the United States, Israel, and Arab countries held in Bahrain at the beginning of the month at the latest Arab Summit, Egypt agreed to participate in an Arab security force in the Gaza Strip, according to the Qatari news site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. 

An Egyptian source told the Qatari news site that Cairo expressed its willingness to participate in an Arab security force that would enter specific areas in the Gaza Strip for an extended period of time on the condition that the IDF completely withdraws from the strip at the end of the war.

The Egyptian source also noted that if an agreement is reached regarding this security force, it will be stationed on the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing and the Gazan side of other crossings connecting the strip to the Gaza Envelope…”
