Here’s a story that flew a bit under the radar over the past couple of days. Turkey’s Erdogan visited Egypt for a rare visit. Turkey-Egypt relations have not been great in recent years but it looks as if Erdogan and El-Sisi are taking steps to repair them.

The big question is what the two leaders talked about and/or agreed to during this visit. Did they agree to cooperate against Israel if the Jews do a ground invasion into Rafah? Or are they just going to continue to blow smoke up everyone’s asses about their opposition to the Jews?
Erdgoan and El-Sisi have similar problems. Their populations both want war against Israel over their genocide operations against Palestinians but both leaders are hesitant to jump into a war fearing the strategic consequences. El-Sisi is in tough spot due to the fact that he was essentially installed into power by the ZOG machine. Erdogan is also in a tough spot due to Turkey’s standing in NATO and the fact that his country hosts American military bases.
This meeting could end up being historically significant or it could end up being historically meaningless. Only time will tell.
