The election of Abdul El-Sayed to the U.S. Senate has drawn sharp criticism from prominent Egyptian journalist and TV presenter Ahmed Moussa, who urged Arabs not to harbor excessive expectations from the politician's success. Moussa argued that El-Sayed's Egyptian heritage does not imply he will represent Egyptian or Arab interests, emphasizing his American identity and views that do not support the Palestinian cause. He further stated that El-Sayed's past remarks about Egypt were negative and dismissive.
Moussa believes El-Sayed's victory will not alter U.S. Middle East policy, predicting he will not pursue accountability for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, advocate for Palestinians, or focus on the destruction in Gaza. "His victory does not interest us at all," Moussa stated, asserting that El-Sayed's stance on regional issues will likely mirror that of other American politicians.
The Egyptian commentator also criticized the U.S. Democratic Party, to which El-Sayed belongs, accusing them of destabilizing the Arab world and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. Moussa cited the "Arab Spring" in Egypt as an example, claiming the administration of former U.S. President backed the ousting of Hosni Mubarak and the subsequent election of Muslim Brotherhood representatives. He further alleged that Democrats funded organizations aimed at internal destabilization of Arab states.
Previous reports indicated that Democratic victories in U.S. midterm elections could potentially complicate military cooperation with Israel.
