Washington Free Beacon: Fearing Collapse, Egypt’s Sisi Calls for Resumption of Military Aid

Military aid frozen following political coup

JERUSALEM—Warning of Egypt’s possible collapse under economic pressures and the threat of rampant terror, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi called on the United States over the weekend to resume military aid that has been partially frozen because of the political coup that brought Sisi to power and because of alleged human rights violations.

Terming Egypt, with its population of 90 million, “the bedrock of stability in the area,” Sisi told television interviewer Charlie Rose that if Egypt is destabilized it would have an impact on neighboring Israel and on Europe as well.
