Egypt's Sisi is Anti-Muslim Brotherhood & Anti-Iran

Dear M Tovey,

I think you are misreading the omens you see in the Egypt-Jordan-Iraq recent conference.
As you know, Iraq is a disaster, struggling economically after the devastating 10 year war and ISIS catastrophe. And Jordan is barely capable of withstanding economic survival without US aid. So it's Powerful EGYPT which is in the driver's seat, so to speak. At the same time, Egypt is a very close ally of Saudi Arabia under Prince MbS, which is also anti-Muslim-Brotherhood & anti-Iran. And do you not know that Saudi Arabia just tried to cause a coup against the King of Jordan?

Furthermore, the USA is withdrawing from the Middle East under Biden.

All this make Israel's Sunni Arab Allies (even those without recognition of Israel) get closer to Israel, as the only FORCE or POWER able to defend or protect them from Shia IRAN?
