In this article, the author touches upon the escalating tensions in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The author stresses that these tensions could have destabilizing effects on Egypt, the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, and Israel, potentially dragging the three into an escalation that could send ripples across the region. The author argues that given that a stable Sinai is in the interest of all parties and the region as a whole, the West should develop a two-track policy focusing on security and development for the area while devising strategies that could lay the groundwork for increased cooperation between the three neighbors.
