Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the claim and discovered it to be suspicious.
In a tweet, Ofir Gendelman, the Israeli Prime Minister's spokesperson for Arab media, denied the news of the Mahmoud al-Sisi's arrival in Israel.
Furthermore, no reliable sources have reported on the alleged arrival in Israel of Egyptian President Mahmoud al-Sisi. It should be noted that even websites that circulated the claim made use of vague references to "Egyptian private sources," making the information untrustworthy.
