How Egypt lost power – and became complicit in Gaza’s siege: One on One with Hossam el-Hamalawy

“Egypt was a regional heavyweight - now its policy serves Gulf and Israeli interests.” Egyptian journalist Hossam el-Hamalawy joins MEE’s Dania Akkad to unpack how Cairo went from being a regional heavyweight to a state beholden to Gulf cash and Western approval. In this interview, El-Hamalawy explains why Egypt’s foreign policy now serves Saudi, Emirati and Israeli interests, how Sisi’s repression has gutted domestic opposition, and why the Palestinian cause remains a radicalising force in Egyptian politics. He describes how Cairo has turned from a supporter of Palestine to a willing participant in Gaza’s siege, shutting down the Rafah crossing and echoing Israeli narratives. He warns that another uprising is coming - and this time, Egypt’s regime might not survive it.
