Description

President al-Sisi's regional foreign policy decisions have taken a different approach compared to past Egyptian presidencies. Understanding where Egypt is headed and the backbone of al-Sisi's foreign policies is important not only for U.S. interests in the Middle East and North Africa, but for regional security and stability. This study attempts to explain how and why al-Sisi makes his foreign policy decisions by examining his policies on three ongoing conflicts: the Gaza Strip, the Syrian crisis, and the Yemeni civil war. Additionally, this study examines and compares previous Egyptian presidents' foreign policies with al-Sisi. Within these case studies, three hypotheses are tested: that al-Sisi's foreign policy concentrates on protecting the regime and supporting its interests, that al-Sisi's foreign policy concentrates on protecting national interests and improving quality of life for Egyptians, or a combination of the two. While regime and national interests differ in each case study, al-Sisi has demonstrated that he takes into account both factors in his foreign policy decision-making. The lessons learned from these case studies can assist U.S. leadership and policymakers in predicting how President al-Sisi is likely to approach new challenges in the Middle East. This study is composed of six chapters. The first chapter contains the study introduction. The second through fifth chapters comprise the regional conflict case studies of the Gaza Strip, the Syrian crisis, and the Yemeni civil war. Each chapter introduces past foreign policy under previous presidencies and explains what concerns and interests shape President al-Sisi's current foreign policy. The final chapter concludes with an explanation of how President al-Sisi implements his foreign policy for U.S. leadership and policymakers to take into account when assessing Egypt, the Middle East, and its interests in the region.
