Egypt Criticizes U.S. Suspension of Aid

Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Egypt is criticizing a decision by the U.S. to suspend a large part of the $1.3 billion in aid.

A government spokesman said they would “not surrender to American pressure.”

The U.S. suspended delivery of large-scale military systems and will not be providing cash support. Secretary of State John Kerry said the decision was not “a withdrawal from our relationship.”

“The interim government understands very well our commitment to the success of this government,” Mr Kerry told the BBC. The state department added the freeze was not a permanent decision. However, the freeze is dependent on the nation’s move toward “free and fair elections.”
