Israeli minister shares post calling for 'occupation' of Egypt's Sinai

An Israeli minister has shared content on social media calling for the reconquest of Sinai.

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu retweeted a post by a right-wing activist on X (formerly Twitter) that showed a man wearing a T-shirt bearing the outline of the peninsula and the words "occupation now".

Israel controlled Sinai from 1967, when it was captured from Egypt in the Six-Day war, and returned it in 1982.
