The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said on Tuesday that Israel is preparing for a series of projects on a large scale with Egypt, after several years of economic cooperation suspension, Aswat Masriya reports. Israel is preparing as well to cooperate with Egypt in the fields of solar energy and the production of electricity, agriculture, irrigation and gas, beside tourism. One of the main motivations behind new cooperation efforts are political factors that significantly affect the security of Israel. The two allies agreed that economic poor conditions could lead to the overthrow of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi through protests led by the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, it has not received all the financial aid promised by Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait, according to the Israeli newspaper.
