Israeli backing for Ethiopia's maritime outlet raises Egypt tensions

The article discusses Israel's ongoing support for Ethiopia's efforts to secure access to the Red Sea, amidst total Egyptian rejection of these moves. Since 1993, Ethiopia has been a landlocked country dependent on its neighboring ports, especially Djibouti, with Israeli backing for Ethiopia's endeavors to obtain a maritime outlet. This heightens tensions with Egypt and threatens its national security. Egypt considers any attempt to impose military or strategic influence over the Red Sea to be illegal and a source of chaos. It emphasizes the necessity of respecting international law and the principles of the African Union. Some experts link Israel's support for Ethiopia's stance to political bargaining, including Ethiopian backing for Israel's recognition of the "Somaliland" region, while Egypt maintains its firm position, rejecting any conflicts or changes to the Red Sea coast.
