Egyptians Arabs in Israel are people of Egyptian origin living within Israel's borders. They include those who immigrated for work, resided permanently, or acquired Israeli citizenship, often through marriage to Israeli citizens. The history of this community reflects the complexities of Egyptian-Israeli relations, which evolved from a state of war to a cold peace following the signing of the 1979 peace treaty. Although this community is small compared to other immigrant groups in Israel, its presence sheds light on the dynamics of migration, identity, and integration within a complex political and social context.
