(opens the publisher’s site)President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi attended the Egypt Forum 2026 national-security session, where officials presented the newly established National Crisis and Emergency Authority.
- Sisi participated Wednesday in the session on the third day of Egypt Forum 2026, alongside the prime minister and the defense, interior, and foreign ministers.
- Sisi said the National Authority for Crisis and Emergency Management acts as a parallel supporting arm for the state and government during crises.
- Authority head Lt. Gen. Mohamed Abdel Rahman Rabie said crises were previously handled by each institution separately, prompting the creation of a central coordination body.
- Rabie said the armed forces maintain fixed disaster-response plans, carried out periodically across the republic.
- Rabie said President Sisi initiated the authority's idea after a visit to Russia, prompting a national committee to study international crisis models.
- Rabie said the authority reports directly to the presidency and was established to protect national security and manage crises legally and administratively.
