Här är en artikel med lite bakgrundsinformation till förhållandet mellan Egypten och Syrien/Ryssland respektive USA/Saudi/Israel. Jag tyckte den var intressant:

Since al-Sisi reached power in a military coup in 2013 against Egypt’s first democratically elected President Mohamed Morsi, he has backed Bashar al-Assad’s regime in various international occasions.
Last October, Egypt voted in favor of the Russian-backed draft resolution on Aleppo in the United Nations security council.
The Russian draft resolution which was submitted as a counter measure was opposed by Western and Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia.
As a result, Egypt’s vote led to an unprecedented rift between Egypt and its strongest Arab ally, Saudi Arabia.

In addition, Al-Safir, a Lebanese newspaper close to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, revealed that an Egyptian unit, including 18 Egyptian pilots started to work at Hamah military airbase in Syria on November 22.
18 pilots were part of a special helicopter squadron operating at Hamah airbase and have been at the base since 12 November, according to the same source.
It is not known if the pilots have already participated in airstrikes or not, but their presence at Hamah airbase shows that there is an Egyptian-Syrian decision to speed up merging the Egyptian pilots.

Trump also said as he sat beside al-Sisi in the Oval Office,”We agree on so many things.”
He added, “I just want to let everybody know in case there was any doubt that we are very much behind al-Sisi. He’s done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation. We are very much behind Egypt and the people of Egypt. The United States has, believe me, backing, and we have strong backing.”
As a result, its expected that the coming month will witness unprecedented cooperation between Egypt and U.S in the filed of counter-terrorism. In addition, U.S will also send economic expertise and support to the Egypt to help in boot its wrecked economy.
In the end, although this was something that Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been longing for, to revive the Egyptian relations with the United States of America, however, he didn’t know that U.S involvement in the region will be that quickly,especially the dramatic turning point towards Syria.
In this context, how al-Sisi will deal with Russia and al-Assad’s regime? Will he withdraw from the Russian axis and Bashar al-Assad’s regime and join the U.S.’s new alliance that would involve Saudi Arabia?

Det är en dragkamp om Egypten mellan de båda lägren.
Spekulationen jag hade var att IS/Mossad-dådet var piskan som följde efter Trumps morötter (refererade i artikeln)
