Egypt’s Balancing Act Amid Gaza Conflict: Humanitarian, Economic, and Diplomatic Challenges

In the stark context of the Gaza war, Egypt finds itself navigating multifaceted challenges that strike at its humanitarian conscience, economic stability, and diplomatic commitments. The intensification of hostilities has raised alarm in Cairo about the potential forced displacement of Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula, echoing historical fears and obligating Egypt to a delicate diplomatic dance with its Western partners, Israel, and the broader Arab world. Concurrently, Egypt faces significant economic strain due to disruptions in revenue sources and soaring inflation, all while the Sisi administration attempts to balance the exigencies of political stability with the pressing need for economic reform. Amid this turmoil, Egypt’s role as a mediator and regional stabilizer remains pivotal, underpinned by critical financial support from the EU, IMF, and Gulf states, which, although injecting much-needed liquidity, necessitate substantial and sustained reform to ensure long-term stability.
