🇪🇬🇮🇱⚡- Senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yonatan Urich, has denied that Egypt was one of the two Middle Eastern countries mentioned in a recent bombshell intelligence leak. The leaked report alleged that one regional state had advised another to pursue a policy of false peace with Israel in order to lower Tel Aviv's guard while simultaneously preparing for a future large-scale confrontation.

The controversy has intensified after members of Netanyahu's opposition accused the Prime Minister's Office of deliberately leaking the sensitive intelligence. Although Urich firmly rejected claims that Egypt was one of the countries involved, his response indirectly suggested that the intelligence assessment is authentic and real.

As Rerum Novarum initially stated, our assessment remains: Turkey is likely the country to have asked Saudi Arabia to pursue false normalization with Israel, while preparing for a future confrontation.
