Egypt Deploys Russian Missiles for 'Peace' Summit Ahead of Gaza Crisis
The New Arab reveals Egypt's deployment of Russian-made Buk-M2E air defense systems ahead of a Gaza summit co-chaired by Sisi and Trump. This unprecedented move for a supposed diplomatic meeting raises more questions than it answers. Historically, 'peace summits' don't necessitate anti-air capabilities unless the "peace" being discussed is less about diplomacy and more about controlling
populations. Just last year, Senators like Lindsey Graham, who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024 (OpenSecrets.org), advocated for increased 'security' assistance across the region, blurring the lines between aid and arms deals. It appears the global community is preparing for a conflict, not a resolution, in Gaza. The fanfare around 'peace talks' continues while real militarization
proceeds. How many layers of security does a humanitarian crisis require before we question the definition of 'humanitarian' itself?
