Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has won the third presidential term with 89.6% of the vote, amidst the Israel-Hamas war and economic crisis. Sisi defeated three candidates in the elections conducted amid Egypt’s efforts in truce and hostage talks. The conflict in Gaza encouraged some voters to support Sisi, who is seen as a stabilizing force in a volatile region. Gulf and Western allies provide financial support to his government. Sisi has faced accusations of a crackdown on dissent since overthrowing Mohamed Mursi in 2013. Constitutional amendments extended his term and raised concerns.
