Egypt is still in full control of its borders, an Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said late on Saturday, following remarks made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Israel's need to have security control of the Gaza border with Egypt to prevent smuggling of weapons into the Strip by Hamas.
"These are matters of agreements between the states involved," the spokesperson said, "so any statement would be reviewed and responded to accordingly."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he told U.S. President Donald Trump last week that any U.S. deal with Iran must include the dismantling of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, not just stopping the enrichment process.
India is deepening its defense partnership with Israel through a new series of arms agreements valued at approximately $8.6 billion, according to reporting by Forbes India.
At least nine Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the northern and southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, Hamas civil defence said, in what Israel's military called a response to ceasefire violations.
