Trump said Egypt will handle it and his new bff Al-Sisi seems ready to follow through. Doesn't sound like a healthy idea to piss this guy off...
"On 24 March 2014, an Egyptian court sentenced 529 members of the Muslim Brotherhood to death, an act described by Amnesty International as "the largest single batch of simultaneous death sentences we've seen in recent years […] anywhere in the world". By May 2016, approximately 40,000 people, mostly Brotherhood members or supporters, have been imprisoned since the 2013 coup."
Egypt’s al-Sisi Declares Three-Month State of Emergency
"Sisi announced the “state of emergency for three months” in a defiant speech at the presidential palace after a meeting of the national defence council.
The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the church bombings in the Nile Delta cities of Alexandria and Tanta in which at least 44 people were killed.
The emergency law expands police powers of arrest, surveillance and seizures and can limit freedom of movement."
