This marks the first time since the 1979 Camp David Accords that an Egyptian president has explicitly accused Israel of genocide, signaling an unprecedented diplomatic rupture. The timing at the 34th Arab League summit suggests a coordinated regional realignment, with Egypt potentially abandoning its role as mediator between Israel and Palestinian interests.
Egypt's Sisi Breaks With Israel: Prophetic Arab Alliance Shifts
📰 What Happened
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has publicly accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza while strongly denying Egyptian complicity in the Gaza blockade. Speaking at the 34th Arab League summit in Baghdad on May 17, 2025, Sisi warned that history would judge nations over their response to the Gaza situation. This represents a significant deterioration in Egypt-Israel relations, which have been relatively stable since the 1979 peace treaty.
📖 Prophetic Significance
Sisi's dramatic shift at the Baghdad summit aligns with prophetic expectations of Egypt's role in end-time conflicts. Isaiah 19:2 predicts Egyptian internal strife and kingdom against kingdom, while Ezekiel 30:18 specifically mentions Egypt's alliances breaking. Sisi's genocide accusation, combined with his rejection of blockade complicity, suggests Egypt is positioning itself within the prophetic Arab coalition. This realignment at the 34th Arab League summit indicates the formation of the precise national groupings described in Psalm 83, where Egypt historically wasn't included but now appears to be aligning with Israel's opponents.
