Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi, born on November 19, 1954, in Cairo, Egypt, is an Egyptian politician and retired military officer who has served as the sixth and current president of Egypt since 2014. He rose through the ranks of the Egyptian Armed Forces, graduating from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1977 with a diploma in military sciences. Following the 2011 Egyptian revolution, el-Sisi was appointed director of military intelligence in February 2011 and became the youngest member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). In 2012, he was named Minister of Defense under President Mohamed Morsi. El-Sisi played a pivotal role in the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état that removed Morsi from power, leading to his appointment as interim president in July 2013. He resigned from the military in March 2014 to run for president, winning the election with 96.9% of the vote. His presidency has focused on stabilizing Egypt post-revolution, implementing economic reforms, and combating terrorism, particularly in the Sinai Peninsula. However, his government has faced criticism for authoritarian measures, including crackdowns on dissent, media censorship, and human rights abuses. El-Sisi's administration has maintained close ties with the United States, benefiting from significant military aid, with allegations of influence peddling involving U.S. Senator Bob Menendez to secure aid and shield from congressional scrutiny. On a personal level, el-Sisi is married to Entissar Amer and has four children: Moustafa, Mahmoud, Hassan, and Aya. His leadership style emphasizes national security and development projects like the New Administrative Capital, but his rule has been marked by controversies over extended presidential terms and suppression of opposition. Under his presidency, Egypt has been proposed as a destination for Gaza's population in plans such as Weitman's.
