* Earlier this month, Egypt's military killed 15 Islamist terrorists in Sinai. The army said that since July 22, it has eliminated 77 terrorists as part of Egypt's efforts to combat terrorism at all of the country's strategic borders.
* [Egyptian political analyst Dr. Abdel Azim] Ramadan said that the European Parliament's anti-Egypt resolution indicates the presence and remarkable activity of the Muslim Brotherhood lobby inside European Union bodies, including the European Parliament.
* "Why does the European Parliament give itself the right to evaluate others? The resolution, aiming to put pressure on Egypt, is in itself opportunism and a clear violation of human rights." — Egypt's Coordination of Youth for Parties and Politicians, Youm7.com, December 19, 2020.
* [Prominent Egyptian media personality, Ahmed] Diab accused the Europeans of turning a blind eye to human rights violations in Turkey.... "All the enemies of the Egyptian state were happy with this unacceptable resolution." he said.
* Egyptians fear that the jihadi terrorists will interpret the European Parliament's resolution as a green light to continue their terror campaign to overthrow the Sisi government and bring the Muslim Brotherhood back to power. What is certain, meanwhile, is that the resolution is being celebrated by Egypt's enemies -- not a good sign for the future of the war on terrorism.

Egyptians from across the political spectrum have expressed outrage over a "politicized" European Parliament resolution that they say is a blatant intervention in Egypt's internal affairs, which serves the interests of terrorists presently opposing the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

Egyptians from across the political spectrum have expressed outrage over the European Parliament's December 18 resolution calling for restrictive measures against Egypt for its "human rights violations."

The Egyptians said that the European Parliament's "politicized" resolution is a blatant intervention in Egypt's internal affairs and serves the interests of Muslim terrorists presently opposing the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

The resolution adopted by the European Parliament "deplores, once again and in the strongest possible terms, the continued and intensifying crackdown on fundamental rights and, among others, the persecution of human rights defenders, lawyers and civil society in Egypt."
