Lmao as if the president of Mexico is going to do anything against israel. Sisi is fully bought and paid for by America to surpress his population and support israel.

I must be missing something. Excuse my ignorance. What does the president of Mexico have to do with this?

Biden said Sisi was the president of Mexico two days ago.

It was pretty funny, Egyptians call him El Meksisi now to evade state censorship.

Oh lol. I must've missed that one. Thanks!

The El Meksisi/Meksiki (I've only seen the latter personally) thing started a while ago for unrelated reasons, so this is just a coincidence.

A really weird and bad auto correct? Otherwise my confusion is equal to yours.

Probably referencing a meeting Biden had with the presidents of Mexico and Egypt recently and he mixed up who each of them was.

Israel attacked Rafah? What now?

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The threat to suspend the Camp David Accords, a cornerstone of regional stability for nearly a half-century, came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said sending troops into Rafah was necessary to win the four-month war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The standoff between Israel and Egypt, two close U.S. allies, took shape as aid groups warned that an offensive in Rafah would worsen the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, where around 80% of residents have fled their homes and where the U.N. says a quarter of the population faces starvation.

Netanyahu, in an interview on ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” suggested civilians in Rafah could flee north, saying there are “plenty of areas” that have been cleared by the army.

“An Israeli offensive on Rafah would lead to an unspeakable humanitarian catastrophe and grave tensions with Egypt,” European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote on X.

The White House, which has rushed arms to Israel and shielded it from international calls for a cease-fire, has also warned against a Rafah ground operation under current circumstances, saying it would be a “disaster” for civilians.

Israel and Egypt fought five wars before signing the Camp David Accords, a landmark peace treaty brokered by then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter in the late 1970s.
