> In fact, the current President of Egypt, Sisi really hates Hamas (Hamas is the Gaza branch of The Muslim Brotherhood). The Muslim Brotherhood and other forms of militant Islam are threats of stability to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Arab countries.

It needs to be said (and I'm Israeli) that technically, Egypt had a revolution which led to democratic elections, which put the Muslim Brotherhood in power, which led to a military coup, which gave us General Sisi.




The Muslim Brotherhood government proved to be unpopular with the citizens of Egypt. That government opened up the tunnels to Gaza allowing for more arms and concrete which in the end, simply made things worse for the citizens of Gaza as Israel had to defend itself against these weapons.
