Sisi: Failing to preserve state institutions leads to their collapse

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has said failure to preserve state institutions leads to their collapse, at a session of the Egypt 2026 forum.

• Sisi participated Wednesday in the forum's "Homeland and Citizen Security" session, joined by Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly and the defense, interior, and foreign ministers.
• Sisi said attacking state institutions aims to bring down states, citing 2011, and called the armed forces and the interior ministry the two wings of state security.
• Interior Minister Mahmoud Tawfik said car theft in Egypt dropped 94 percent and outlined a five-axis security plan including artificial intelligence.
• Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Egypt will not allow Sudan's division, rejects the displacement of Palestinians, and will not subject 110 million Egyptians to any party's unilateral will over water.
• Sisi said developing reform and rehabilitation centers stems from an ethical, religious, and humanitarian perspective aimed at reintegrating offenders into society.
• Sisi called for activating memory and shedding light on the 2011 events, noting police stations and prisons were stormed and 33,000 inmates escaped.
• Interior Minister Mahmoud Tawfik said citizen awareness acts as a protective barrier against attempts to destabilize the nation.
