Crisis? Egypt denies permission for 2 American bombers to enter its airspace. WHY?

Egypt has prevented two American B-52 strategic bombers from crossing Egyptian airspace because they did not receive the necessary permits.

Two American B-52 bombers, accompanied by several aerial refueling planes and a group of fighter jets, carried out a surprise air sortie over the Middle East yesterday morning. The flight departed from Britain, passed through the airspace of Jordan and Iraq, and then crossed the Arabian Gulf near the Iranian coast.

During the flight, the bombers were prevented from entering Egyptian airspace because no advance notice was given to the competent authorities, according to a recording of the pilots' conversations.

The ban on the bombers from entering Egyptian airspace comes at a sensitive time amid rising tensions between Egypt and Israel. 

These tensions may have influenced the decision not to allow the aircraft to fly over Egyptian airspace. Given the current political situation in the region, Egypt may take strict security measures to ensure the protection of its airspace, especially in light of the political and military developments in the Middle East.

The military actions of both sides increase the state of security alert in the region, while emphasizing the importance of coordinating air operations with neighboring countries to ensure security stability, which may be one of the factors that motivated the Egyptian authorities to prevent the American bombers from crossing Egyptian airspace.

Egypt, who helps hamas and takes tons of American aid won't let our planes use their airspace. Stop giving our enemies aid. Treat them as hostiles. This is ridiculous to anyone with any sense at all

Egypt is just another run of the mill Muslim country, no different than the rest. Basically terrorists, not to be trusted

If Egypt tries to limit our ability to travel through its airspace or even across its territories, the US should shut off all funding and treat them as a hostile Islamic entity.

We can cut off all aid to Egypt any time we want. The Egyptians need to watch their step especially since Israel does have nukes and we are their primary backer. Turn Egypt into glass.

Stop all aide and demand refunds in obligatory compliance with US requirements.

The aircraft should have just flown over anyway. Does anyone think Egypt would be stupid enough to threaten US aircraft?
