The relationship between the Sisi regime and the Occupation State seems to be bringing Egypt and Israel closer than ever, following the first public meeting between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.

Their meeting took place ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, which Egypt stated was part of an effort to bring Palestinians and Israelis to renewed diplomatic discussions. 

Although Egyptians largely regard Israel is a threat to sovereignty, and sympathize with the Palestinian cause, the Sisi regime has marked an explicit shift of relationships between the two countries. 

It has been four decades since former president Anwar Al Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, but Sisi marks a notable shift in policy to one of friendliness. 

In 2016, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry made a highly publicized visit to Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem, with Netanyahu going so far as to state the two "made time to watch the Euro 2016 final" together. 

Egypt has also reinstated an ambassador to Tel Aviv, after Morsi decided to pull out the envoy in protest of the Israeli war on Gaza in 2012, while Israel reopened its embassy in Cairo.
