Egypt rejects Israeli calls to expand West Bank operations

Original: Egypt rejects Israeli calls to expand West Bank operations; Smotrich urges Gaza-style war

Egypt has rejected calls from Israeli officials to expand military operations in the occupied West Bank, after far-right Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich urged a Gaza-style war there. Cairo warned such a escalation would destabilise the region further, deepening tensions between Israel and a key mediator in the conflict.

Why now: Smotrich's call for a Gaza-style war in the West Bank and Egypt's public rejection have heightened regional tensions.
