Cairo is threatening to suspend a key peace treaty with Israel if it invades Rafah city on the border with Egypt in Gaza. 

Two Egyptian officials and a western diplomat told the Associated Press that Egypt will suspend the historic Camp David Accords if Israel follows through with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to take over Rafah city.

The officials added that fighting in Rafah could also suspend and delay much-needed aid deliveries into Gaza through Rafah, where half of the besieged enclave's population have fled after months of Israeli bombardment. 

Egypt is afraid that, if it opens the Rafah border crossing, millions of Palestinians will leave Gaza and not be able to return to the besieged enclave.
