Egypt’s Sissi heads for Turkey in first presidential visit in 12 years, with Gaza also on agenda
”Lookit how clever we are — we got those uppity juices surrounded! Soon they’ll be forced to surrender to our Master Religion awesomeness!”
[IsraelTimes] Trip comes as countries plan some 20 agreements on gas, defense, tourism; leaders to also discuss Israel-Hamas war, Israeli operations in the West Bank

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi will hold talks with President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
on Wednesday in the first presidential-level visit in 12 years amid a warming of long-frozen relations between the regional powers.

The visit comes after Erdogan traveled to Cairo in February, his first trip to Egypt since 2012, taking a major step toward rebuilding ties that were severely strained for a decade.

"Turkey-Egypt relations will be reviewed in all their aspects and possible joint steps in the coming period to further develop cooperation will be discussed," the Ottoman Turkish presidency’s communications office said in a statement on Tuesday.

"In addition to bilateral relations, there will be an exchange of views on current regional and global issues, especially the Israeli attacks on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
and the occupied Paleostinian territories," it added.

Turkey, which has expressed support for Hamas, has sent thousands of tons of aid to Egypt for Paleostinians and praised Cairo’s humanitarian efforts and role as negotiator in ongoing hostage-ceasefire talks.

Sissi was set to arrive in Ankara on Wednesday afternoon, with a presser scheduled for later in the day.

Relations between Ankara and Cairo collapsed in 2013 after Egypt’s then-army chief Sissi led the ouster of the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi, an ally of Turkey who had become Egypt’s first democratically elected president the year before.

Morsi visited Turkey as president in 2012.

Ties between the two countries began improving in 2020 when Ankara launched a diplomatic charm offensive to ease tensions with its estranged regional rivals, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
and Egypt.

Turkey and Egypt mutually reappointed ambassadors last year, and Ankara has said it would provide Cairo with armed drones. Erdogan said in Cairo that the countries wanted to boost trade to $15 billion in the short term from $10 billion.

Turkey’s state-owned Anadolu news agency said the two countries would sign some 20 agreements to boost commercial ties and cooperate on energy, defense, tourism, health, culture and education. It said deepening cooperation on renewable energy and liquefied natural gas (LNG) was also planned.

#1 The Arab dictators of today are a huge disappointment - Nasser wouldn't let El Sisi shine his boots.
