complex interdependence; The model of the relationship between Egypt and Israel during the Al-Sisi era

The relationship between Egypt and Israel has been accompanied by many ups and downs during the past decades. The two were always at war until the late 1970s, and the confrontation marked the course of relations between the continent and Tel Aviv. But after the signing of the Camp David Agreement, the path of interaction and cooperation between Egypt and the Israeli regime was paved. After the popular uprisings in North Africa and the fall of Hosni Mubarak's government, relations between Egypt and Israel turned cold, although these relations were peaceful. But in 2013, Egypt once again underwent a change of government and the military led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power in this country. This article examines the relations between the two sides with the aim of answering the question of how was the relationship between Egypt and the Israeli regime during the Al-Sisi era and what pattern does it follow. To answer this question, the theory of complex interdependence has been used. According to this theory, after Al-Sisi came to power, the Israeli and Egyptian regimes have common interests and needs, such as providing security in the Sinai desert, controlling the Gaza strip, extracting and exporting gas, confronting Islamist groups, and economic and tourism exchanges. Therefore, factors have led to the expansion and intensification of cooperation between Tel Aviv and the continent, in such a way that despite the opposition of most of the Egyptian people who want to solve the Palestinian issue, the two sides have become a strategic partner in the Middle East.
