Relations between Egypt and Israel worsen over Rafah

In recent days Egypt announced it would no longer participate in allowing transit of aid into Gaza and said it planned to join the genocide case brought by South Africa against Israel at the UN's top court.

Israel's largest Arab neighbour has been growing increasingly angry over its conduct in the Gaza war, which has brought relations to a point of friction unprecedented since a peace treaty that was signed in 1979.

The Rafah crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza has been a vital route for aid to the territory, where a humanitarian crisis has deepened and some people are at risk of famine.

On 7 May Israel seized control of the crossing as it stepped up its military campaign around Rafah. Since then aid has accumulated on the Egyptian side.
