Lt. Col. Eli Dekel, a former intelligence officer, revealed that Egypt has been building mass emergency weapons warehouses to reduce global dependency since 2003. These stockpiles include weapons like tanks, artillery, and tractors, as well as medicine and food. The goal is to avoid reliance on foreign powers and withstand pressure from countries like the US, Russia, or France. However, despite Egypt's preparations, the US still holds significant leverage over Cairo. The question remains whether Egypt could withstand US economic pressure in response to Trump's plan.
