💨 Abstract

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi appointed Hassan Mahmoud Rashad as the new head of the General Intelligence Agency, replacing Abbas Kamel who will serve as an adviser to the presidency. Rashad was previously a deputy to Kamel and has handled foreign policy matters and domestic security issues under Sisi's leadership. The move comes amidst a crackdown on political dissent in Egypt.
