Egypt has quietly taken steps to prepare for the possible mass displacement of Gazans into North Sinai, despite years of public opposition to such a move. A new presidential decree has allocated over 6 million square meters of land in strategic locations near the Gaza border, officially for 'logistics zones,' but the sites and military oversight suggest preparations for large-scale refugee management. The infrastructure being built appears designed to process and isolate incoming Gazans deep in the Sinai desert, under strict military control, marking a significant shift in Egypt's stance due to mounting economic and political pressures. This development could transform North Sinai into a permanent zone of instability, with potential security risks for both Egypt and Israel, as the region braces for a new and uncertain reality.
