Erdogan not very happy with Egypt President, says he can’t be relied upon to negotiate a ceasefire

I think Erdogan is sensing that Egypt isn’t really interested in helping Hamas:

CAPITAL NEWS – Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday slammed Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as an illegitimate tyrant, saying that Cairo could not be relied upon to negotiate a ceasefire with Israel.

“Is Sisi a party (to a ceasefire)? Sisi is a tyrant himself,” Erdogan told reporters.

“He is not different from the others,” he said, adding that it was Egypt’s current rulers who were blocking humanitarian aid channels to the Gaza Strip ruled by the Islamist Hamas movement.

“Egypt is not a party, they are trying to legitimise (the Sisi administration) in Egypt. It is not a legitimate administration. It is illegitimate,” he said, lashing out at Israeli attempts to exclude Hamas.

“Hamas is a party there,” he said.
