  Exclusive: Secret service officers ask Bedouin tribes to assist the army in preventing a mass influx of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to Egypt’s Rafah

  Egypt’s military intelligence has held meetings with Sinai tribes in recent weeks to discuss their potential role in the event of an Israeli invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, Middle East Eye can reveal. At the meetings, Egyptian intelligence officers said they estimated a Palestinian influx of between 50,000 and 250,000 people towards Sinai if Israel carries out a ground operation in the Palestinian Rafah.

  The meetings were held prior to the controversial creation of an alliance of tribal groups at the Egyptian side of Rafah, led by the influential pro-government businessman and militia leader Ibrahim al-Organi.

  The Arab Tribes Union (ATU), an alliance of five Egyptian Bedouin tribes, was announced at a large celebration on 1 May with the stated goal of integrating tribal entities into a single framework to support the Egyptian state against security threats. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was declared its “honorary president”.
  –
  The official spokesperson of the ATU, pro-government journalist and MP Mustafa Bakry, has said that the union should be considered as “a faction of the Egyptian army”, sparking widespread criticism and concern among Egyptian commentators. Many have warned about the formation of a vague paramilitary entity that operates parallel to the Egyptian army, similar to the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
  –
  During the same event, Organi also celebrated the launch of a new city, named after Sisi, which he plans to build on the site of Al-Arjah village in southern Rafah adjacent to the Egypt-Israel border.
  –
  According to three Sinai tribal sources and one Egyptian security source, in the weeks leading up to the event, a number of meetings were held in North Sinai between senior members of Bedouin tribes, officers from the Secret Service apparatus in the military intelligence (known internally as Group 55), and others from the Second Field Army.
  –
  The main topic of these meetings was the possibility of the influx of a large number of residents of the Gaza Strip due to a potential Israeli military operation in the Palestinian city of Rafah, which now hosts about 1.5 million displaced Palestinians.
