WATCH: Egypt deploys huge tank convoy to Gaza border 

Egyptian forces are significantly expanding their military presence along the Gaza border. The deployment marks a notable escalation in Egypt's border security measures in the region.

The movement of heavy armor near Rafah, the crucial crossing point between Egypt and Gaza, comes amid heightened regional tensions.

Military analysts are closely monitoring these developments at the strategically important border area. The Rafah crossing serves as Gaza's primary gateway to Egypt.

In addition, Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced a comprehensive plan for Gaza's reconstruction, emphasizing that Palestinians will remain on their land during the rebuilding process.

Speaking alongside Djiboutian counterpart Mahamoud Ali Youssouf in Cairo, Abdelatty detailed ongoing Egyptian efforts to implement a three-stage ceasefire agreement. The announcement comes amid recent controversy over former U.S. President Trump's suggestion to relocate Gaza's Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.

A six-nation Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo firmly rejected any displacement plans, reinforcing calls for a two-state solution. The statement follows the January 19 ceasefire that halted Israel's military campaign, which caused nearly 47,500 deaths and over 111,000 injuries since October 2023.

Addressing regional security, Abdelatty emphasized opposition to non-regional military presence in the Red Sea, noting reduced tensions following the Gaza ceasefire. The minister's comments come as Egypt navigates multiple regional challenges, including Ethiopian-Somali tensions over Somaliland's Berbera port agreement and ongoing disputes over Nile water rights.

Earlier Sunday, Egyptian President al-Sisi met with Djibouti's foreign minister to discuss Red Sea security and regional cooperation, underscoring Egypt's diplomatic engagement in Horn of Africa stability.
