CAIRO (MEMO/Al Jazeera) – The Zionist regime’s political and security circles are concerned about the possible fall of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi amid the ongoing internal crises that Cairo has been facing, an Israeli newspaper reported.
In an editorial written by journalist and expert on Arab affairs, Smadar Peri, Yedioth Aharonoth’s Hebrew site said: “Sisi’s speech last Thursday was one of the harshest, most horrific and ugliest speeches during the past eight years of his rule.”
According to Peri, al-Sisi wanted to involve Egyptians in the problems facing their country and the “bitter reality that it is going through,” including, the cessation of wheat supplies from Russia and Ukraine, the depreciation of the Egyptian pound, and lack of recovery in the tourism sector which could lead to “mass drowning”, according to al-Sisi.However it added: “There are those who claim that Sisi has invested tens of millions of dollars in incorrect places, and that he is a deceiver and knows how to take advantage of his position and demand money from under the table, while distributing it at the expense of his people … [but] it is difficult to find solutions for a poor country like Egypt.”
“Al-Sisi is the neighbor with whom a conversation can be made, as well as with his Minister of Intelligence, Abbas Kamel,” Peri said, noting that al-Sisi is visiting Qatar to “request economic assistance”, and the Zionist regime should hope that he will receive the help he needs.
Sisi concluded his two-day visit to Qatar after a meeting with the Persian Gulf state’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the signing of a number of deals between the two countries on Wednesday.The visit, which began on Tuesday, followed a trip by Sheikh Tamim to Egypt in June, and was a sign of warming ties.
“[There are] a lot of deals on the table when it comes to business investments and the economy,” said Al Jazeera’s Stefanie Dekker, reporting from Qatar’s capital, Doha. “In the words of the official Qatari news agency, this is a new era in relations between the two countries.”
In 2017, Egypt, along with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, boycotted Qatar in an attempt to force Doha to change its regional policies.
The boycott ended in 2021 when the four countries normalized relations with Qatar.
