After Qatar was bombed, Egypt sent a message to the United States: If Israel attacks on my territory, the consequences will be severe
According to "The Times of Israel," after the Israeli military struck Hamas members in Qatar, it triggered security concerns among other Middle Eastern countries, especially Egypt and Turkey, because besides Qatar, the leadership of Hamas mainly operates in these two countries. For example, Hamas has set up an office in Istanbul, while Egypt, which is currently responsible for mediating the Gaza conflict, often sees Hamas leaders travel to Cairo.
Previously, Egypt and Turkey believed that Hamas's activities on their territories were safe, but after the Israeli air strike on Qatar, they realized that Israel would not hesitate to take any political consequences to strike Hamas, and this action may mark the beginning of "overseas killing," so they started to strengthen their defenses.
It is reported that Egypt has already sent a message to the United States: Any attempt to attack Hamas officials on Egyptian territory will have devastating consequences. In addition, Egypt has privately stated that it is willing to host the leadership of Hamas in Gaza and has made a "security protection commitment" for them on Egyptian territory.
There is no doubt that this statement directly points to Israel. The meaning of Egypt is simple: if Egypt faces a similar situation as Qatar, the situation may get out of control, and it cannot be ruled out that Egypt may directly go to war with Israel!
Egypt's message to the United States is essentially for two purposes: first, to show Trump the consequences and hope he can restrain the impulsive Israel, second, to let Trump act as an intermediary and convey this message to Israel.
