In tactical and strategic terms, close coordination between Egypt and Israel has become a national security necessity for both sides.

CAIRO - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took a calculated risk by officially confirming close coordination with Israel in the fight against terrorism in the Sinai Peninsula, analysts said.
In an interview with CBS News television’s “60 Minutes,” Sisi made the unprecedented acknowledgement after being asked whether Egypt was enjoying the “deepest and closest cooperation” ever with Israel. “That is correct,” Sisi affirmed.
“Egyptian fighter jets fighting [the Islamic State] ISIS sometimes have to cross to the Israeli side of the border,” Sisi said in the interview, which was conducted a few months ago and broadcast January 6. “This makes it important for us to coordinate with the Israeli side.”
The New York Times and other US media have published detailed accounts of Egyptian-Israeli security cooperation in the Sinai, based on Israeli sources. This marks, however, the first time such cooperation was confirmed at the highest level in Egypt.
The problem, political analysts in Cairo said, was that, despite official recognition of Israel almost 30 years ago, most Egyptians viewed their Jewish neighbours with deep distrust, if not enmity.
“This is why it is dangerous for the president to reveal the extent of coordination Egypt has with this country,” said Hassan Nafaa, a political science professor at Cairo University. “Sisi is probably the first Egyptian head of state to talk openly about this coordination.”
The Egyptian presidency requested that “60 Minutes” not air the interview, which the programme used to promote its coverage, but it was unclear whether that was because of Sisi’s comments on Cairo’s relationship with Tel Aviv.
