Forum Post: Clinton discusses Morsy and Egypt’s political transition

On Morsy she said: “I think he has a lot of the right intentions.” She added that there are things that he has done which the US has approved of and other things it did not approve of, such as “abrogating a lot of power unto himself personally, reinstating emergency law provisions that had been a hallmark of the Mubarak regime.”

Clinton expressed that the issue of Egyptian border security is a big problem, specifically weapons smuggling. She said: “we need to reassert order in the Sinai. It’s in Egypt’s interest; it’s in Israel’s interest.” She highlighted the importance stopping Hamas from attacking Israel saying that this could have a negative impact upon Egypt if the situation becomes “uncontrollable.”
