Israeli minister warns 'no Sinai' if Egypt attacks, escalating rhetoric

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated 'there will be no Sinai' if Egypt attacks Israel, on the eve of Egypt's commemoration of the 1973 war. This marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric between the two nations, which have maintained a peace treaty since 1979. The statement raises concerns about regional stability and potential military tensions, though it remains rhetorical at this stage.
