(Ynet News) Smadar Perry - IDF Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, 64, who retired after 13 years as director of the Defense Ministry's Political-Military Affairs Bureau, said: Egyptian President "al-Sisi is a miracle. I knew him even before he was elected president. He is determined, devoted and very honest. An Egyptian patriot and a religious person. When the Muslim Brotherhood rose to power, they gave him a five-star rank of field marshal and were certain that he would do their job for them. But al-Sisi surprised and got rid of them, despite pressures from the Western countries, including the United States." "Al-Sisi - and I know this personally - reached the conclusion that if the Brotherhood took over and established regional alliances with similar movements, Egypt would fall into an abyss. And so, for purely patriotic reasons, he took a huge risk and removed them. He saved Egypt from the Muslim Brotherhood monster, and the entire region from a historical disaster."
