Dekel also warned against a repeat of the 1973 October War and the failure of Israeli intelligence to anticipate the sudden Egyptian attack on Israel. He explained that when intellectuals and those interested in Egyptian affairs in Israel ask about the danger posed by the Egyptian army strengthening its military power, they use the following excuses:

Egypt is strengthening itself due to Ethiopia’s threat to steal River Nile water from Egypt.

Egypt is strengthening itself due to the threat of the Tripoli-based faction in Libya (the faction in Benghazi controlled by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who is an ally of Egypt).

Egypt aspires to lead Africa and the Arab nation, and the weapons aim to show all the countries of the world Egypt’s size and status.
