The Signing of the Gaza Treaty- If It Ends the Palestine-Israel Conflict: The End of Egypt’s Relevance to the U.S. and Loss of Revenue
Egypt’s primary source of revenue has long been U.S. aid, which has been used in part to serve as an intermediary between Israel and Palestine. The ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict has not only provided Egypt with crucial financial support but has also positioned the country as a key U.S. ally in the Arab world. Hypothetically, if the Gaza Treaty succeeds and the millennia-long conflict comes to an end, it would result in the loss of this vital revenue stream. In this scenario, Egypt’s role as a strategic partner to the U.S. would diminish, and the financial aid it receives could be significantly reduced, essentially ending the U.S.'s implicit "bribe" for Egypt's cooperation.
