Swift Action After 1967 Prevented Israeli Settlements Taking Root in Sinai, El-Halaby Says
Major General Pilot Hisham El-Halaby, an adviser at the Military Academy for Postgraduate and Strategic Studies, said swift action following the 1967 war prevented Israeli settlement activity from becoming entrenched in Sinai.
El-Halaby said Israel pursued a policy of establishing settlements after occupying territory during the war.
His assessment linked the speed of the response after 1967 to preventing that policy from taking lasting hold in Sinai.
The remarks framed settlement building as part of Israel’s approach to the territories it occupied, with El-Halaby highlighting the importance of acting before settlements became firmly established.
