Transcript [00:00] Hey everyone. So about a week ago, I [00:02] made a video about uh China's [00:05] involvement, China's growing involvement [00:08] in the Middle East, all across the [00:10] Middle East. Uh and we went through a [00:12] number of different headlines in that [00:14] video. We talked about Xihinping's visit [00:16] with King Abdullah of Jordan who came [00:19] out to China to see him. We talked about [00:20] the joint air force drills between the [00:23] Chinese uh air force and Egypt and UAE. [00:27] Uh we talked about the Saudi Turkey [00:29] Pakistan alliance the Mecca pact and the [00:32] impact that it has on China the way [00:34] China benefits from it and of course [00:36] that has everything to do with the [00:37] Pakistan China relationship which I [00:39] mention frequently and I said at the end [00:42] of that video that this is something [00:43] that we would have to watch very [00:45] closely. Well, we didn't have to wait [00:47] that long for the next uh for the next [00:50] opportunity to talk about China's [00:52] involvement in the Middle East because [00:53] as we speak, um Xihinping is in Cairo. [00:58] He is in Egypt right now for a 3-day [01:00] state visit. Um it was timed to coincide [01:04] with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic [01:06] relations between China and Egypt. [01:08] Egypt, by the way, was the first Arab uh [01:10] and African country to recognize the [01:12] Communist People's Republic of China [01:14] back in the 50s. [01:16] So today, I want to do something a [01:18] little different than last time. In that [01:19] last video, I took the wide angle view [01:22] of the whole region of everything China [01:23] is doing. And in this video, we are [01:25] going to focus in only on Egypt. Okay? [01:30] uh every every single thing I talked [01:32] about in that last video, all the [01:33] different ways that China is getting [01:34] involved in the Middle East, they all [01:36] come into focus in Egypt, and this is a [01:38] this is very important. The same way [01:40] that China kind of owns Pakistan, it's [01:43] moving towards or maybe it's even past [01:45] the point of no return where it kind of [01:46] owns Egypt. That's what I'm arguing in [01:49] this video. I'll let you decide at the [01:51] end and we'll take a and we'll take a [01:53] look. [01:54] So uh right and also the timing of all [01:57] this has everything to do with what the [02:00] US is doing in Iran. Why does it have to [02:02] do with the US and Iran? Because just a [02:04] couple days ago in the as part of this [02:07] whole economic [02:09] uh sanctions regime that uh US Treasury [02:12] uh Scott Bessant the Treasury Secretary [02:15] announced the first major move in that [02:18] was a sanctioning of an Egyptian bank [02:21] Miser a couple days I mentioned it in a [02:23] video just over the last couple days. Uh [02:25] so the the uh the branches of the Egypt [02:28] the second largest bank in Egypt were [02:30] sanctioned [02:32] and that's a blow to Egypt and at the [02:34] same time we have China publicly saying [02:36] that they're not going along with the [02:38] sanctions. So that is hovering in the [02:40] background. We'll get to that towards [02:41] the end of this video. So before I get [02:43] into the specific details and I I want [02:46] to make it very clear what I'm not going [02:47] to be doing in this video. In most of my [02:49] videos where we talk about the news, I [02:51] actually read you sections of news [02:53] stories. And I originally was putting [02:55] this video together that same way. And [02:58] then I stopped because it was too much [03:00] and I didn't want to be reading reading [03:01] reading long articles. So in this in [03:03] this piece, I'm actually not going to be [03:05] doing as much reading as I usually do. [03:07] And instead, I'm going to be just [03:08] sharing with you what I found from all [03:10] of the of the research that I did to [03:12] plan this to plan this video. and you [03:15] can let me know what you think of that [03:16] change in the way I'm doing things in [03:18] the comments, but that's what we're [03:20] going to be doing in this video. Okay. [03:24] Um, now let's talk about why Egypt [03:26] matters so much to China. Egypt sits at [03:30] the hinge point between Africa, the [03:32] Middle East, Europe, and Asia. It [03:34] controls the Suez Canal. And remember in [03:37] the last video I mentioned that the [03:38] ports along the Suez Canal are already [03:41] largely run by Chinese state companies. [03:43] It has over, you know, Egypt has over a [03:45] 100 million people. Just to put that [03:47] into context, it's an Arab country [03:49] withund 110 120 million people and the [03:54] next largest Arab country, maybe you can [03:58] count Sudan as an Arab country and it [04:00] has less than half that. If you're [04:02] talking about Arab countries on the [04:04] other side, meaning on the Asian side, [04:06] on the other side of the Sinai, meaning [04:08] all of the rest of the what we uh you [04:10] know, the Arab world, you know, there's [04:11] the North African Arab countries that [04:12] have much smaller populations. The [04:14] closest might be Iraq, which is in the [04:16] 40s, meaning Egypt is by far the largest [04:19] Arab country. Okay, just keep that in [04:21] mind. And it's also a huge African [04:23] country. So, it has over 100 million [04:25] people. It has one of the largest and [04:27] most educated tech talent pools in the [04:30] continent of Africa. [04:32] and it's also a very important voice in [04:35] both the Arab League and the African [04:36] Union. So if you're China and you're [04:38] trying to build out the belt and road [04:40] which is the land sea trade corridor [04:43] from the far east to Europe to the you [04:45] know to the west coast of Africa that [04:47] they're building uh Egypt is a very [04:50] important hinge. They sit at a very [04:52] important location geographically. So [04:54] Xihinping laid out his own his own uh [04:58] his own framing for this in a column. [05:00] Xihinping authored a column. I mean, he [05:03] probably didn't write it himself, but it [05:05] was published in an Egyptian paper today [05:08] uh to kind of introduce his visit. And [05:10] in that column, he talked about Egypt's [05:12] role in what he called the five [05:14] cooperation frameworks. The five [05:16] cooperation frameworks between China and [05:18] the Arab states. And this is uh uh more [05:22] innovation, more joint innovation, uh [05:25] more investment and finance, [05:28] uh cooperation in energy, [05:31] uh more more trade, and more [05:34] people-to-people relationships. [05:36] That's the that's the polished [05:38] diplomatic language. But here's what it [05:40] actually means, and it's a lot more [05:42] concrete than just cooperation [05:44] frameworks. [05:46] So Egypt right now is evaluating a [05:49] Huawei, you know the company Huawei, a [05:51] Huawei proposal to build out an AI data [05:56] center, an artificial intelligence data [05:59] center infrastructure for the Egyptian [06:01] government itself. So, we're talking [06:03] over 1,400 of Huawei's top processors, [06:07] the N the Ascend 950 processors for AI [06:10] training, plus another 600 for [06:12] deployment across two [06:16] computing clusters with Huawei proposing [06:19] to have the whole thing built within 12 [06:22] months. Okay, Huawei, forget the [06:24] technical jargon. Huawei is investing in [06:27] building some some serious AI data [06:30] centers in Egypt. Huawei's already [06:33] announced that it's putting in 300 [06:34] million dollars into Egypt over the next [06:37] 5 years. Huawei. Now, when Washington [06:41] when the Americans found out about this [06:43] proposal of the of the Chinese [06:44] state-owned company, really Huawei, if [06:46] any of you are using Huawei phones or [06:48] anything, you should think about the [06:49] fact that this is a Chinese state-owned [06:51] company. When when the Americans found [06:54] out about this proposal by Huawei to [06:56] build these AI centers in Egypt, [07:00] uh reports say that the US government [07:02] reached out to Nvidia, AMD, and [07:04] Microsoft to try to put together an [07:05] American counter offer. Meaning the [07:07] Americans didn't just say, "Oh yeah, let [07:09] the, you know, let the Chinese and the [07:10] Egyptians do whatever they want." The [07:12] Americans cared about this. [07:14] uh because you know the Americans have [07:15] been have focused most of their tech [07:17] diplomacy, their tech development in [07:20] that area on Saudi Arabia and the UAE. [07:22] They weren't they weren't focused on [07:24] Egypt. And then when Huawei comes in [07:25] with this proposal, the Americans are [07:27] scrambling to put together a counter [07:29] proposal. [07:31] Now Huawei, [07:33] why is that so important? Huawei, it's a [07:35] stateowned company, but it's way more [07:37] than that. It's not a neutral company [07:38] that happens to be owned by the Chinese [07:40] Communist Party. it was on the or the [07:44] Chinese government, whatever you want to [07:45] call it. Huawei was landed on the US [07:48] Commerce Department's entity list back [07:50] in 2019, [07:53] meaning of entities that they're [07:54] watching and that uh they're, you know, [07:56] are are a problem because Huawei is [08:00] considered by the United States a [08:01] national security concern. [08:04] Okay, it's telecom equipment [08:07] uh being used for espionage. [08:10] And this is the part that that connects [08:11] directly to what we're talking about [08:12] today. The Justice Department uh accuses [08:17] the Huawei there's there's a case in the [08:19] Justice Department that accuses the [08:20] Huawei company and its CFO of using a [08:24] shell company to sell American equipment [08:28] to Iran while lying to banks about it. [08:31] In other words, the same company that's [08:32] now proposing to build Egyp Egypt's [08:35] government AI infrastructure has a [08:38] documented history of helping move [08:40] American technology into Iran and [08:42] getting around US sanctions. Okay, [08:46] think about that in the context of [08:47] everything else going on. So, security [08:49] experts also point out something else. [08:52] Even if the physical servers of the AI [08:55] technology sit on Egyptian soil, that [08:58] doesn't mean that Egypt controls it. It [09:00] doesn't mean that they control the data. [09:02] The Chinese still control the software [09:05] and the encryption keys and the system [09:07] updates and all of that stuff. That's [09:08] all Chinese. So it doesn't matter if [09:11] they're building they're not building it [09:12] for Egypt like you build it for Egypt [09:14] then Egypt has an AI center. It means a [09:16] Chinese AI center in Egypt. That's what [09:19] it means. Okay. So that's and the United [09:21] States is right now in this AI war, this [09:24] AI contest with China for AI supremacy [09:27] which is extremely important. So, the [09:29] Americans got really worried when they [09:30] heard about this Huawei plan for Egypt. [09:33] Now, let's talk about China's actual [09:35] footprint in Egypt already. And I [09:37] mentioned some of this in the last video [09:38] about the Suez Canal. [09:40] Chinese state firms built the entire [09:43] central business district of Egypt's new [09:46] administrative capital. Egypt built a [09:48] new uh area for like its government, [09:50] like a new administrative capital with [09:52] buildings and offices and and the and [09:55] the business district was built by [09:56] China. It includes Africa's tallest [09:58] building. Uh they're involved uh the [10:02] Chinese are involved in the light rail [10:03] connecting Cairo to that new capital. [10:06] The China Egypt Teda Corporation zone [10:09] has pulled in over 200 companies and [10:12] created more than 10,000 jobs. [10:15] This is a Chinese company building out [10:20] building out business in Egypt. [10:23] it. Okay, let me give you a number [10:25] that's easier to get your head around. [10:27] In the first half of 2026, Egypt [10:30] imported $10.4 billion worth of goods [10:34] from China in half of a year. [10:38] But that that's what they imported from [10:39] China. What they exported to China was [10:43] only about 600 million. That's 600 [10:45] million compared to 10.4 billion. That's [10:49] a massive trade deficit. Trade deficit. [10:52] What is it? Nine $9.8 billion in six [10:56] months with one country. So there's an [10:58] analyst from the Washington Institute [11:01] Henry Tugent who put it like this. He [11:03] said Egyptian companies cannot compete [11:05] with Chinese firms [11:08] that have the state backing them because [11:11] remember China everything ex you know [11:13] Chinese firms going overseas that's [11:15] always the Chinese that's always the [11:17] Chinese state [11:20] and even when we talk about China [11:21] investing in Egypt China doesn't really [11:24] invest in Egypt Tugenhhat explains this [11:26] China doesn't really invest anywhere [11:27] they lend a lot of money it's different [11:30] from investing they call it investing [11:32] but they're really lending money and [11:33] they turn me there's many poor countries [11:37] especially African countries that have [11:38] been turned into debt slaves of the [11:40] Chinese. [11:43] So the Chinese in other words their [11:46] direct investment in Egypt is estimated [11:49] at around $10 billion and there are [11:51] about 4,000 Chinese companies registered [11:54] and operating in Egypt. [11:57] But the actual, [12:00] you know, the [12:03] the foreign investment going into Egypt [12:04] is mostly, like I say, Chinese loans. [12:07] Loans that comes with string that come [12:09] with strings attached. And they require [12:12] and they also require Egypt to use [12:14] Chinese contractors for the [12:15] infrastructure projects that they're [12:17] funding. And they insist on them using [12:19] Chinese machinery and Chinese labor. So, [12:22] it's not it's not so much capital [12:24] flowing in from China into the Egyptian [12:26] economy. It's more the Chinese coming [12:28] in, lending money, bringing in their [12:30] personnel, and kind of operating [12:32] everything. So, it's kind of a takeover. [12:35] That's what's happened in the Suez [12:36] Canal. The ports along the Suez Canal [12:38] are run by the Chinese. [12:40] In the last video, I I also talked about [12:42] the Eagles of Civilization military [12:45] exercise that took place. That's the Air [12:47] Force joint exercise between Egypt and [12:49] China. It first happened in 2025. And [12:51] then there and then they have another [12:53] one. They did another one this year [12:55] where China deployed their full air [12:57] force package [12:59] uh with you know with the Egyptian air [13:02] force [13:03] and this ran through most of August and [13:07] it might still be going on this this uh [13:09] uh into early September it's supposed to [13:11] be. So, Chinese aircraft flew over 6,000 [13:14] kilometers non-stop to reach Egypt. And [13:17] they brought their their top fighter [13:19] jets and this is the first time that [13:22] China has ever brought jets of their top [13:24] level, the J16, to the African [13:27] continent. And the drills covered [13:28] offensive and defensive air combat. I [13:30] talked about that in the last video. Uh [13:33] battle management, etc. meaning that [13:35] this was a pretty extensive [13:37] uh pretty extensive military maneuvers. [13:45] So think about what Egypt is is actually [13:47] actually is here. Okay, Egypt is a [13:51] country that is or has at least [13:53] historically been the second largest [13:56] recipient of US foreign aid in the [13:59] entire Middle East behind only Israel. [14:01] Okay, this is all the stuff I've talked [14:04] about, the details of the jets and the [14:05] and the different types of investment. [14:07] Let's bring it down to earth. Egypt is [14:09] the second largest recipient of US [14:11] foreign aid in the Middle East behind [14:13] only Israel. [14:15] Egypt's air force has flown American [14:17] F-16s for decades. And now Egypt is [14:20] running a serious joint combat drill, [14:24] their air force, with China and testing [14:27] whether Chinese and Egyptian systems can [14:29] integrate. [14:33] Okay, which is the kind of thing that [14:34] you do before you're going to buy maybe [14:36] some Chinese jets. [14:39] Washington [14:41] DC is concerned about this. If Egypt [14:44] starts running Chinese aircraft and [14:47] Chinese command and control systems [14:51] alongside American ones, that creates a [14:53] real risk of exposure [14:56] because these equipment nowadays is tied [14:59] in with all sorts of systems and when [15:00] you start using them together, they [15:02] learn each other [15:05] and there the US is worried about this [15:07] integration. And Israel is watching this [15:09] very closely also for the obvious [15:10] reason. Egypt is a neighbor and any move [15:13] by Egypt towards advanced Chinese [15:17] aircraft and advanced Chinese systems is [15:21] is something that that that that chips [15:24] away at Israel's qualitative military [15:26] edge because you know in Washington they [15:28] kind of weigh what they're selling to [15:30] which country so that they can manage [15:33] who has the superiority and is and it is [15:35] an American strategic interest to make [15:37] sure that Israel maintains a degree of [15:40] air superior priority. China doesn't [15:42] care about that. In fact, China's pretty [15:43] anti-Israel. So, if China starts [15:45] bringing their advanced systems in, that [15:48] could cause a problem for Israel. [15:51] Now, [15:54] let's go one step further. On August [15:57] 28th, just a couple days ago, the US [16:00] Treasury announced sanctions on Bank [16:02] Miser, Egypt's second largest bank. [16:05] That's what I talked about in the last [16:06] video. They were specifically targeting [16:08] the UAE branch of that bank. And the [16:12] accusation was that between January 2024 [16:15] and June of 2026, [16:18] that bank processed about 1.8 billion [16:20] for 103 companies that were all tied to [16:24] Iran's shadow banking network, including [16:28] front companies for Iran's Ministry of [16:30] Defense and the IRGC, an Egyptian bank. [16:34] So, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was [16:36] very direct. He said, "Iran's enablers [16:38] cannot continue to enjoy access to the [16:40] US dollar and the global financial [16:42] system." Egypt's central bank pushed [16:44] back a little, saying that this only [16:46] touches that one UA UAE branch's dollar [16:49] transactions. Uh, it it's, you know, [16:52] it's, you know, it's, you know, it's [16:54] it's not what they it's not what they [16:56] do. They shouldn't all be sanctioned. [16:58] But Egypt's own banking system got named [17:01] in by Washington in their Iran sanctions [17:05] regime. And this is while the Chinese [17:08] are are building a stronger and stronger [17:10] relationship to Egypt. [17:12] Egypt's getting the hammer come down on [17:14] them from the Americans. Meanwhile, the [17:16] Chinese say they don't want to be part [17:17] of the sanctions. [17:19] So, think about how things are shaping [17:21] up. [17:22] Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry [17:24] spokesman Lin Jian said flatly that [17:27] cooperation between China and Iran will [17:30] not be interfered with or disrupted. So, [17:32] they're taking this this defiant stance [17:34] towards the Americans. [17:36] So, the same week that Xihinping is [17:38] visiting Cairo and talking about [17:40] deepening their cooperation, the [17:42] Egyptian financial system is getting hit [17:44] by US sanctions over Iran. And China, [17:48] which is Egypt's fastest growing partner [17:50] in tech and trade, is publicly saying, [17:53] "We don't care about the sanctions." [17:55] That's that's the point I'm making here. [17:56] Now, before I go on, I just want to [17:58] remind everyone that there are a lot of [18:00] people in Israel uh this year uh there [18:04] there are many many people who are uh [18:06] well, every year, but there are many [18:08] people who don't have the funds. They [18:10] don't have the wherewithal to put food [18:13] on the table in a festive way for the [18:16] festival season. The high holidays are [18:18] coming, followed by sukot, the feast of [18:21] tabernacles. This is a season with a lot [18:23] of expenses. It's a very expensive time [18:25] of year and there are families that have [18:27] been struggling and Israel 365 charity [18:30] is putting together a a a large-scale [18:34] campaign to help these families. We uh [18:37] we are going to be delivering massive [18:39] food boxes to help these families have a [18:42] festive festival season, a festive [18:44] holiday season that are going to be [18:46] delivered to their doors. For many [18:47] families in Jerusalem, we're arranging [18:50] for them to to attend a deluxe festival [18:53] dinner. Uh and uh and this campaign is [18:57] so important. You know, part of our [18:58] rejoicing on the festivals, a big part [19:00] of it has to be taking care of those who [19:01] are in need. So, if this speaks to you, [19:03] please uh click the link in the [19:05] description of this video or go to [19:06] israel365 charity.com [19:09] and uh and scroll down to the recent [19:11] projects and help out a family for the [19:14] high holiday season this year. It's very [19:16] important. Okay, let's get back to to u [19:21] to this subject here. Let's talk about [19:24] bricks because this is the piece that [19:26] ties the whole thing together and it [19:29] explains why China's push into Egypt [19:30] isn't just about u you know selling jets [19:33] and setting up shop in different places. [19:35] It's about it's about um [19:39] it's about undermining the US sanctions [19:41] in a long-term way. Right now there's [19:43] not a lot they can do about it, but it's [19:44] trying to weaken American power. So [19:47] Egypt joined BRICS. Bricks is this um is [19:50] this group of nations [19:54] led by Russia and China. The goal of it [19:58] from the Russian and China perspective [19:59] is really to give alternatives to the US [20:02] dollar as the prime reserve currency to [20:04] allow trades to happen in other [20:05] currencies. But this in the end is meant [20:07] to bring down the supremacy of the US [20:10] dollar which ultimately significantly [20:12] weakens American power around the world. [20:15] So Egypt joined bricks. [20:18] Um Algeria and Tunisia were not admitted [20:21] which which gives China and uh you know [20:24] China China's foothold into into the [20:27] wider North African trade network is [20:29] through Egypt specifically and Egypt has [20:31] been taking real concrete steps down the [20:34] ddollarization path that China's been [20:37] pushing. Egypt issued its first ever one [20:40] denominated bonds. Think about that. [20:42] Egypt issued a bond that was denominated [20:45] not in Egyptian currency, not in [20:47] dollars, but in yuan, in Chinese yuan. [20:50] They called them panda bonds. Cairo has [20:52] explored paying for wheat imports in [20:55] Chinese yuan or Indian rupees instead of [20:58] dollars. The bank of Russia added the [21:01] Egyptian pound to its own currency [21:03] listings. And Egypt is part of something [21:06] called the called uh Mbridge, a [21:10] crossborder digital currency platform [21:12] built with China, Hong Kong, Thailand, [21:14] and the UAE designed to let central [21:17] banks settle payments between each other [21:19] without ever touching the US dollar or [21:22] the Swift system that the dollar that [21:25] the that the dollar sanctions depend on. [21:27] Meaning the fact that the Swift system [21:29] is dollars and is Americanontrolled, [21:32] they can cut countries off. they can use [21:34] it for sanctions. Now we see the [21:36] connection of the whole thing. The whole [21:38] reason a sanctions regime like the one [21:40] uh that that the Americans used against [21:42] this Egyptian bank, the the whole reason [21:44] it works is that almost every serious [21:47] international transaction has to pass [21:49] through the dollars and the swift [21:51] system. The US controls them. Okay, [21:53] that's what I'm explaining here. every [21:55] Juan bond, yuan bond that Egypt issues, [21:58] every wheat shipment that they pay for [22:01] not with the dollar, [22:04] every transaction that runs through [22:06] Embridge instead of Swift is one more [22:10] chipping away at the American dollar as [22:13] the prime reserve currency and it's one [22:15] more way of weakening the Americans [22:17] ability to do things like the sanctions [22:20] they're doing now or they're trying to [22:22] do now on Iran. So, China isn't trying [22:25] to replace the dollar overnight, but [22:28] what it's doing is it's building this [22:29] these alternative sets of mechanisms [22:32] country by country to just make the [22:35] dollar less central to what everyone's [22:37] doing. So, let's pull the whole picture [22:40] together. If you if you stuck around [22:42] long enough in this video, thank you [22:44] because I know this one's a little bit [22:45] uh it could be a little bit confusing [22:47] what's happening here. [22:49] I think this is this is the most [22:50] important point here. Egypt is not [22:53] switching sides in some dramatic [22:56] announcement. They're not saying we are [22:57] now with the Chinese. We're not in the [22:58] American orbit anymore. They're not [23:00] going to do that. No one's going to see [23:02] a headline that says Egypt has left the [23:04] American camp. But it's happening the [23:06] way China likes to do things. We have [23:08] the Huawei contract. Remember, Huawei is [23:11] a state-run company. It, [23:14] you know, it's the Americans flagged it [23:17] as a as a as a national security risk. [23:19] It's building a significant operation in [23:22] Egypt. It has the joint air exercise. It [23:25] has Egypt issuing panda bonds. Oh, did I [23:27] mention that something like 30% of [23:30] schools in Egypt now cheat now teach [23:32] Chinese language in Egypt? Okay. [23:38] And meanwhile and and and then you look [23:39] up one day and you see a country that is [23:41] the second largest recipient of of aid [23:44] from the United States [23:48] that is going to be running its AI [23:50] infrastructure with Chinese technology [23:52] with Chinese personnel [23:55] training its air force with the Chinese [23:59] setting trade in Chinese currency. [24:03] Now none of this means that Egypt is [24:05] cutting off its its relationship with [24:06] Washington. Why would it do that? It [24:08] wants Washington money, [24:12] right? And Egypt has every reason to [24:13] keep hedging between China and the US, [24:16] but the trajectory [24:18] is towards China. The trajectory is [24:21] unmistakable. Every every track, whether [24:23] it's tech, trade, military, finance, [24:26] it's all moving towards China. [24:28] And the fact that this is happening to [24:30] Egypt specifically, a US aligned Israel [24:34] adjacent [24:36] country that's supposed to be at peace [24:38] with Israel while China openly refuses [24:40] to enforce American sanctions on Iran is [24:43] exactly the kind of story that gets [24:44] buried under bigger headlines but [24:46] actually tells you more about where the [24:47] region is heading than almost anything [24:49] else happening right now. Right? So [24:52] that's what I try to do on this channel. [24:53] Like here we have the headline. Xiinping [24:55] is in Egypt. They're having a nice [24:56] meeting. [24:58] And I'm trying to tell you that there's [24:59] something much bigger going on here with [25:01] Egypt. Egypt moving out of the orbit. [25:04] Well, not exactly. They're not going to [25:05] leave it, but they're moving much more [25:08] into the orbit of the Chinese. And uh [25:11] and that is something that is a matter [25:13] of concern for everyone in my opinion, [25:17] especially Israel. But we'll keep [25:19] watching this. I hope uh hope you found [25:21] this video helpful. I hope it made [25:23] sense. Please like, subscribe, share, [25:25] please comment. Let me know if this one [25:27] didn't make sense. Let me know that, [25:29] too. I'm open to criticism. I always I [25:31] always welcome it. Thanks for watching.
