    I’ve mentioned this before, but there’s actually a pop conspiracy theory that the intel Israel used during the 6 day war was actually given by Egypt’s own generals which is why they also allegedly refused to allow C&C to alert their airfields of the huge first wave attack that Jordan had detected for them.

    Supposedly they had already formed an agreement to allow Israel to do their thing so they could sack Nasser. The plan technically backfired since Nasser was popular with support so he had them arrested.

    Didn’t really help Egypt either way in the end because both sides were still just ill experienced military people with no real combat experience. Today the military still runs the country in the form of Sisi who is considered a joke by practically every foreign dignitary.

    I guess they care about Palestine as much as the Pakistani army cares about Kashmir.
