Netanyahu held talks with world leaders and asked them to try to convince, and in Jerusalem they put forward a new proposal: the World Bank will write off a large financial debt of Cairo in exchange for this. 

Israel is trying to pressure Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take in refugees from the Gaza Strip - and has made a new proposal: the World Bank will write off Egypt's large financial debt, in return for such a step on their part.

Recently, Israel also turned to international leaders and asked them to try to convince Egyptian President al-Sisi to accept refugees in Sinai. Al-Sisi opposes this, and even said on his part - that Israel will absorb them in the Negev. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the leaders to convince the Egyptians, since this is the best solution. Another idea that will be examined is the evacuation of Palestinian wounded by ships - and the establishment of a field hospital in Egypt.

Egypt, for its part, fears that multitudes of refugees will try to cross the Rafah crossing and break through. 

US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said yesterday that Hamas, among other things, is preventing the departure of about 600 American citizens who are in Gaza. "Hamas is preventing their departure and is making a series of demands," he said.

Al-Sisi stated two weeks ago that the Egyptian people will strongly oppose the arrival of Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip to the Sinai Peninsula. He warned that such a move would turn Sinai into a center from which attacks against Israel were launched - and Egypt would become a base for terrorist operations. 

He added: "Egypt opposes any attempt to resolve the Palestinian issue through military means or through the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land - whatever will be at the expense of the countries of the region." Sisi said that if his citizens were called upon to do so, millions of them would take to the streets and demonstrate against the passage of Gazans to Sinai.
