A lot more stable than it was 2 years ago I would have thought.

Two years ago they had a democratically elected president. Now they have a strongman.

2 years ago they had an Islamist who was embarking on weakening the military and turning all institutions into Islamist-allied ones. The Islamists didn't have a clue how to run an economy.

Were it not for Sisi, Egypt's economy would be in the toilet and there would be a mini Hamastan on Egyptian soil.

LOL, you Jews just cant get Hamas off your mind.

..........
Back to topic, he doesn't seem to mention much related to Egypt. All he states is his worry of Israel's security. No mention of political reform, economic reform, tackling corruption, etc....

The only that will collapse is his rule, not Egypt.

 

[Hell NO]

1-morsi was elected also mubarak was elected and the egyptains removed both of them and if the egyptains hate sisi they would remove him.
2- that's why he talks to netanyahu
You speak to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a lot?

A lot. I just want to reassure him that achieving peace [with the Palestinians] will be a historic deal for him and for Israel, and that we are ready to help reach this peace..

How are Egypt’s relations with Israel right now?

We have been honoring the peace treaty with Israel since the day it was signed. . . . One example that reflects the magnitude of trust and confidence between the two parties is that the [treaty] does not allow Egyptian troops in the middle and eastern sections of the Sinai — the area that overlooks the joint border. But the Israelis said it was fine to have Egyptian troops in those areas. This means the hostile mood and skepticism have diminished with peace with Israel. This can happen with the other Arab countries and Israel if a two-state solution is reached.

All he states is his worry of Israel's security. No mention of political reform, economic reform, tackling corruption, etc....

it sounded like he was trying to say Israel security is only possible through peace with plastine (two states solution)
that is because the interviewer didn't ask him about all of these stuff.

What if they work better under a strongman? Some nations are not built for democracy.

 

[Beast]

As long as rich Arab keep pumping money to Egypt. Egypt will not collapse.

 

[SipahSalar]

Maybe he should have thought of that before toppling a democratically elected govt.

 

[Hell NO]

Guys stop being stupid please. democracy doesn't mean a box full of votes morsi broke the constitution and made himself above the constitution and unquestionably by the law or the judgeture system he declared himself a ddictator. Millions of egyptains protested against morsi in the 30th of June even more that the number of egyptains who protested against mubarak all they wanted was early elections and the army gave morsi time to listen to their demands but he didn't.
sisi was elected in a fair elections inspected by the un the EU and others
Stop using democracy because morsi wasn't democratic.

Since when did constitutional amendment mean 'breaking' the constitution? Is constitutional amendment by a democratically elected government violation of democratic principals? Sell your fascist ideas in sisi's bedroom, not on a forum.

People power has overturned many bad legislation and governments in democratic nations.

No different in Egypt.

Hitler was democratically elected. Just because someone gets the most votes, doesn't mean they're entitled to do what they like.

After 12 months of things getting worse under Morsi, the Egyptians took to the streets (as is their right) and brought the government down.

Hamas were elected. Do you see them running an election since they took power? they killed their rivals after being elected and have never allowed an election since.

HOW? What did he do that was unconstitutional?

People power has overturned many bad legislation and governments in democratic nations.

Yes, through VOTES. Not violence and sentencing hundreds to death.

One thing is obvious, Egyptians support Morsi. So if they are happy to be ruled by a Tyrant, who are we to object. Egyptians will soon find out that they have chosen to be ruled by a Mubarak in sheeps clothing.

Violence too. Even the likes of the UK had the poll tax in the 80's which saw some of the worst riots. That legislation was brought in by a democratically elected government, but the people were against it and the only way to get the government to change their minds was to protest.

Morsi was elected narrowly. It's obvious that after 12 months of making Egypt worse, he had lost the majority of the people even if a big minority (maybe up to 40%) wanted him to stay.

Not really...Egypt has about $15 B..disposable income, GCC gave them a $22B to shore up the economy, Egypt still borrow about $2 B a day to balance its books, and the MB's are thinking about taking arms...
