#5 Sisi has shown himself to be a weasel stomper; unless there is concern that commanders and/or troops wouldn't stay out of Israel?

#6 Just because he's an enemy of Islamists, doesn't make him a friend of Israel, swksvolFF. Think Nasser who had soviet style camps for bros.

#7 not a friend, but someone who can see where his strategic goals align. There are no friends in geopolitics (See: Obama)
