Sisi warns army and public against actions resulting from 'anger'

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi on Wednesday warned his armed forces and the general public to rein in their anger and enthusiasm, in an apparent reference to the outrage felt in Egypt at the Israeli military onslaught on Gaza.

Speaking during an inspection of the Fourth Armoured Division of the Third Field Army in the Suez Governorate, some 15 km from Egypt’s border with the Gaza Strip, Sisi said the role of his army is to protect his country’s borders and national security “without aggression”.

Meanwhile, he warned against acts resulting from “anger”, “enthusiasm", and “illusions of power,” as thousands of Egyptians took to the streets on Friday to denounce Israel's attacks and demand action from Sisi and Arab leaders.
