The former head of Israhell's National Security Council (NSC) urges military action by the regime in the Sinai Peninsula, following growing tensions with Egypt. Uzi Dayan told Israhell's Channel 7 on Friday that Israhelli military and security forces should prepare for a period different from the past in dealing with the new Egyptian government. He claimed that the military effort would aim to target those that represent a threat to the Israhelli regime. "This is the time for the Israhelli army to prevail its control inside Sinai", Dayan went on to say. Israhelli troops are banned from entering the Sinai Peninsula under a 1979 peace treaty with Egypt. Tensions have escalated between Cairo and the Tel Aviv regime after Israhelli soldiers killed several Egyptian military and security personnel on Thursday.

Dayan also revealed that a meeting was held in the presence of Israhelli Army Chief of Staff Benny Jants last week to discuss issues related to Sinai Peninsula but he did not elaborate on details of the talks. Stressing on preserving the USZ-sponsored peace treaty between Egypt and Israhell, he proclaimed that Israhelli officials should "maintain the security of their civilians whilst ensuring that no tensions between Israhell and Egypt escalate." Israhelli military must "respond strongly by pursuing the terrorists and to inform the Egyptian government that we may militarily intervene in Sinai" to prevent the Israhelli border from becoming a vulnerable zone for militant attacks. On Saturday, Egypt decided to withdraw its ambassador to Tel Aviv as relations between the two governments remain strained.
