Egypt’s leader incorrectly claims his country never persecuted Jewish people

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:40:56 GMT

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi falsely claimed on Sunday that Egypt had never persecuted Jewish people living in the country.“You spoke about the crisis and you spoke as a Jewish person,” Sisi said to Secretary of State Antony Blinken via an interpreter. “I am an Egyptian citizen, and I was born and brought up in a neighborhood where we had Jewish neighbors. And Jews who used to live here in Egypt [did] not ever suffered from oppression and persecution.”Sisi’s comments directly contradict Egypt’s history, including the enslavement of ancient Israelites as characterized in the biblical story of Moses and violence against Jews during the early centuries of Christianity. In modern times, President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt led a campaign to expel Jews from the country during the late 1950s and ’60s. The Jewish population in Egypt once numbered around 80,000, but today almost no Jews live there.The comments came following a meeting between Sisi and Blinken, who trav...
