      they won’t as long as El-Sisi is in power - him and the Muslim Brotherhood (who are sympathetic/likely allied towards Hamas) have an obvious and long standing beef, given the 2013 coup against Morsi’s gov that put El-Sisi into power.

        Considering the pivot to China, there’s likely someone at the US State Department right now with their finger hovering over the “coup” button for El-Sisi…

          the thing is the “devil they know” is still likely more reliable towards so called “US interests,” even with them moving towards more ties with China, than what they could end up with via the fallout after another US supported coup (which would likely trigger mass protests and conflicts for power)

      Will China refuse to talk to Egypt because of genocide or are the totally cool with genocide?

      Hint: totally cool with genocide.

        Yes they are totally cool with genocide as China is being one of the biggest trade partner to Israel. Worse than selling arms to Israel is having good economic ties that offset the effect of genocide on Israel economy. I’m no pro China. Egypt is cool with the genocide too and even act as a guard for Israel
