On May 16, 2012, INSS held a political-security simulation at INSS designed to formulate ideas about relations between Israel and Egypt, against the background of a securityrelated incident in the Sinai Peninsula. The incident involved disclosure of a site in the Sinai Peninsula, constructed with Iranian financing and assistance, for manufacture and assembly of long range missiles and rockets and surfaceto-sea missiles. Several teams participated in the simulation in a number of roles, including: an Israeli political and security group, an Egyptian group, Hamas, the United States, and the Multinational Force and Observers stationed in Sinai. The simulation, which opened with a scenario involving a security threat emanating from Sinai, was designed to test Israel’s relations with Egypt in light of security breaches in the peninsula.
