Egyptian thinker Tharwat El-Kharbawi, a member of the Senate, launched a scathing attack on the Muslim Brotherhood, revealing their close ties to Zionist plans targeting Egypt's national security. He warned of a fierce psychological war being waged against Egyptian citizens' awareness to destroy the state from within, following Egypt's decisive stance against the displacement of Palestinians. El-Kharbawi made these statements during an interview on the "6 o'clock" program with journalist Azza Mustafa on the Life Channel.

El-Kharbawi emphasized that awareness is not a complex issue, but rather a simple equation based on true national belonging and understanding the magnitude of the threat facing Egypt and its people at this stage. He explained that the current war is not a traditional one, using tanks, planes, or missiles, but rather a war relying on words, images, and distorted emotions to turn Egyptian citizens into angry and resentful individuals against their country.

The thinker pointed out that the Muslim Brotherhood's approach involves using this method to undermine Egypt. Regarding the displacement of Palestinians, El-Kharbawi denied that Egypt's rejection of this idea was a sign of "narcissism or chauvinism," stressing that there is a genuine Zionist conspiracy to relocate the Palestinian people from their land to Sinai to establish part of a "Greater Israel."

El-Kharbawi asserted that the Muslim Brotherhood is "in the lap of Zionism," adding that anyone who denies this "does not know their head from their feet." He cited several examples, including the presence of Muslim Brotherhood branches and members within Israel and their representation in the Israeli Knesset. Some of these members have participated in demonstrations in Tel Aviv without expressing outrage against Israeli crimes in Gaza.

Instead, El-Kharbawi noted that some Muslim Brotherhood youth have taken to podiums to attack Egypt and prevent discussions about Israeli crimes. He highlighted the group's contradictory stance, particularly in light of Egypt's historic victory in the October War. The thinker's statements have sparked a wave of debate in Egypt, with many citizens expressing concern about the Muslim Brotherhood's activities.

El-Kharbawi's warnings about the psychological war against Egypt come amid rising tensions in the region. The thinker's emphasis on the need for awareness and vigilance has resonated with many Egyptians. The Muslim Brotherhood has not publicly responded to El-Kharbawi's statements, but his comments are likely to fuel further controversy.

The issue has significant implications for Egypt's national security and regional dynamics. El-Kharbawi's statements have underscored the need for Egyptians to be aware of the potential threats to their country's stability. The government's stance against the displacement of Palestinians has been clear, and El-Kharbawi's comments are likely to contribute to ongoing discussions about Egypt's role in the region.
