President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s comments to Secretary of State Antony Blinken directly contradict history.
“You spoke about the crisis and you spoke as a Jewish person,” Sisi said to Secretary of State Antony Blinken via an interpreter. “I am an Egyptian citizen, and I was born and brought up in a neighborhood where we had Jewish neighbors. And Jews who used to live here in Egypt not ever suffered from oppression and persecution.”
The comments came following a meeting between Sisi and Blinken, who traveled to Egypt, Israel, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to meet with leaders across the Middle East. He is there to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hamas that exploded last week after the Palestinian militant group launched a deadly surprise attack on Israel from Gaza.
