Egypt

In banishing any credible opponents, Sisi has shown his true intentions—and imperiled the future stability of his country.

Exoneration of the convicted U.S. citizens, while a show of goodwill, would still not bridge the larger gap in U.S.-Egypt ties.

The country's continuing political and commercial challenges, including limited export possibilities, are hampering development of its Eastern Mediterranean natural gas.

The Cairo-brokered understandings can help Gaza, but their success should be judged by how Hamas and Fatah practically approach key issues, not by what they say.

This weekend's embassy attack demonstrates that Brotherhood-aligned militants are becoming a more formidable threat, so Washington should designate them accordingly.

The group's latest move consolidates Egypt's leading role on Palestinian issues, impacts Fatah-Hamas politics, and could alleviate some of the strip's humanitarian problems, but it falls short of a reconciliation that Washington can accept.

The refined appearance of Amr Darrag, who served as minister of international cooperation in the Morsi government, belies his extremist views.

The recent announcement will undermine President Trump's credibility with Cairo, which now has reason to question whether his vocal support for Sisi carries any weight.

A widening rift within the group can be traced to the misguided view that it could elude the government's repression.
