A promotional video featuring Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has sparked widespread debate in political and media circles, as he warned of the potential consequences of Bashar al-Assad’s regime collapse in Syria and its impact on Egypt. This statement has highlighted growing concerns about regional stability and Egypt’s stance on regional developments.
In the video, Sisi issued a stern warning, stating that the forces responsible for overthrowing Assad’s regime might target Egypt next. He added, “Be aware, their mission in Syria is over. They have already destroyed Syria, and their next goal is to bring down the Egyptian state.”
The Egyptian President emphasized his country’s pivotal role in regional and global stability, declaring, “They know that if Egypt falls, chaos will engulf the entire world.” Sisi also vowed to protect Egypt from any potential threats, asserting, “We will not hesitate to protect our homeland from evil and its people.”
This video has raised questions about the accuracy of the claims presented, as no concrete evidence of an immediate threat to Egypt was provided. Some observers have expressed concerns that these warnings could be used as a pretext to tighten security measures and restrict freedoms in Egypt.
Despite the warnings in the video, Egypt has officially stated its support for “a comprehensive political process with pure Syrian national ownership, free from dictates or external interventions.”
This video emerges in a regionally tense context, with Egypt seeking to maintain its stability amid rapid geopolitical changes. However, it remains crucial to verify the claims made and objectively assess potential threats, considering the possible implications for the political landscape in the region.
