Morsi Will Not Step Down without a Fight
(Jerusalem Post) Ariel Ben Solomon - Former Israeli ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel noted that Egyptian Defense Minister Abel-Fattah el-Sisi is not a Muslim Brotherhood member despite being a pious Muslim and he has showed full independence. Once President Morsi came into power, he saw he could not control the army or promote Muslim Brotherhood officers because Mubarak had done a good job filtering them out of the military. The regime has been seeking to build the foundations for an Islamic state, but at the same time it completely neglected the economy, said Mazel. "There are around 500,000-700,000 very brainwashed Muslim Brotherhood members and they are ready to die for the Muslim Brotherhood," he concluded.
