Egypt Fights a Terror Onslaught
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Zvi Mazel - Egypt's endurance is vital to the continued existence of a sane Middle East that opposes the establishment of a caliphate based on sharia law.

They view Sisi as a military dictator who overthrew an elected president, while they turn a blind eye to the fact that his predecessor, Muhammad Morsi, aimed to turn Egypt into an Islamic dictatorship. Israel is trying to help Egypt as much as possible, pressing Egypt's case in Washington and pursuing security and intelligence cooperation far from the eyes of the media. The writer was Israel's Ambassador to Egypt from 1996 to 2001.
