Egypt’s Water Security Is Non-Negotiable, Political Science Professor Says

Egypt’s water security is a red line that cannot be subject to compromise, according to Dr. Haitham Omran, a professor of political science.

Omran said President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s remarks during an expanded meeting at the Strategic Command headquarters carried clear messages about the principles guiding Egypt’s foreign policy.

He also described the president’s remarks as an affirmation of the country’s core national security priorities.

Omran’s assessment placed water security within that broader framework, underscoring his position that it remains a fundamental national interest beyond negotiation.
