The significance of what’s happening in Gaza <https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-war-gaza> and across Palestine today cannot be overstated. For decades, the mantra has been that liberating Palestine from occupation <https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/occupation> starts with liberating Cairo from dictatorship, positing Egypt as the linchpin capable of uniting Arabs. But the opposite seems to be occurring.
The changes brought about by the Gaza war will shape not just Palestine’s future, but also Egypt’s - and perhaps the entire region’s. The shift in international public opinion against the Israeli occupation will be reflected in global policies towards Egypt. Going forward, democracy and human rights could become the foundation of international relations with Egypt, moving away from the decades-long trend of supporting corrupt regimes solely to protect and aid Israeli occupation, even amid the large-scale genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. This situation underscores analyst Naomi Klein <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/24/zionism-seder-protest-new-york-gaza-israel>’s recent assertion that the "false idol of Zionism equates Israeli safety with Egyptian dictatorship and client states" https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/egypt-dark-decade-built-sisi-dangerous-bargain -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
