Satellite images analysed by The Associated Press show that Egypt is constructing a wall near the border with the Gaza Strip, ahead of a possible Israeli offensive on the city of Rafah. The construction, not acknowledged publicly by Egypt, raises concerns about the displacement of Palestinians into Egyptian territory. The preparations on the Egyptian side of the border suggest a potential mass ejection, which could jeopardize the 1979 peace deal with Israel. Israeli officials deny any intention of pushing Palestinians into Egypt.
