The US administration's decision to reallocate $95 million in military aid from Egypt to Lebanon has incited frustration among Egyptian officials. According to sources cited by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Egypt's military perceives this move as emblematic of a dual US stance, undermining its regional partnership, especially amid Egypt's role in mediating Gaza conflicts with Qatar. The redirection, seen as a US stance against human rights abuses in Egypt, including widespread dissent suppression, signals a complex diplomatic recalibration.
