Egyptian skepticism about American withdrawal and preparation for the aftermath
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
Cairo receives Trump's promise with the weariness of a country that has seen too many American promises in the Middle East. Egypt notes the Brent price — at historic highs — and calculates losses: each additional week of conflict costs hundreds of millions in Suez Canal revenue and energy subsidies. "2-3 weeks"? Cairo doesn't believe it. The last time Washington promised a short war in the Middle East was Iraq in 2003.
