    They control the Suez canal and are critical to stability in the region. Do you have an alternative where a deal is not reached and someone the US gets a better outcome?

      Yes. No military aid, no financial aid. Pay Egypt to use their canal, free trade.

      the region has no stability

          Egypt isn’t in a war but it’s surrounded by conflict created by Israel and the US.

          Can’t take that away in an instant but over time sure…
