The sources indicated to Al-Jazeera Net that the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Major General Abbas Kamel, personally supervises the process of militarizing the street and raising it against Turkey. Erdogan.
According to the sources, Abbas Kamel set for the officials several points for the celebrities to talk about, namely, "the necessity of leaving our political differences temporarily, and aligning behind President Sisi to confront the threat of Turkish aggression."
He also asked them to talk about "Turkey aims to occupy Egypt and break the prestige of the Egyptian army in the region, by sending units from its army to Libya."
The messages also included an attempt to emphasize "the intelligence of the political leadership headed by Sisi that she purchased the Rafale aircraft and the Mistral aircraft carrier for a day like this, and not to buy the European Union silence about the violations taking place in Egypt, as critics said at the time."
He demanded that they accuse any person who rejects the war decision of "treason and employment, and must be rejected and even informed if necessary."
Under the tag "# We All_The Army", many celebrities talked about the necessity of lining up behind the army and political leadership, and not being dragged into any opposing words.
