With Sissi at the Helm, the Egyptian Army Regained Its Footing
(Israel Hayom) Eyal Zisser - Egyptian Defense Minister Col. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi is a vital and feisty officer, full of energy and ambition. With Sissi at the helm, the Egyptian army regained its footing and it has risen against the Muslim Brotherhood, which had gone too far by trying to install - under the guise of a democratic process - an Islamic republic that would ensure their rule forever. Prof. Eyal Zisser is the head of the Department of Middle Eastern and African History and a senior research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center, both at Tel Aviv University.
