Sisi turns to Gulf to ease external debt burden

The Egyptian president is negotiating to secure large foreign currency deposits from several Gulf states. Egypt's debt puts it on the back foot in its tug-of-war with the United States and Israel over the acceptance of Palestinian refugees from Gaza into Sinai.

Intelligence-controlled media back Sisi's stance on Gaza

The Egyptian president is refusing to allow Palestinians from Gaza to resettle in Sinai – a scenario advocated by both Washington and Tel Aviv. Egyptian public opinion is largely behind Sisi on this issue, encouraged by the TV channels of United Media Services, which are controlled by the intelligence services.
