    We have the CIA. We do not need a cut out to influence Egypt.

    The CIA doesn’t operate in a vacuum. We’ve got the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance throughout the western world. The CIA routinely collaborates with Mossad. And there have been numerous partnerships with the FSB and MSS during the Bush/Obama Eras of the War on Terror.

    Edit to add - Intelligence flowing to Israel first is also a problem. We’ve caught Israel lying about intelligence stuff multiple times since October.

    We’ve caught Israeli spies in the US going back to the 1950s. We still work with them regularly.
