Ynet/Reuters – Egypt refused to back down Wednesday in a dispute with the US over Cairo’s crackdown on nonprofit groups despite American threats to cut aid.
Despite the warnings from Washington, Egypt’s military-backed Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri struck a defiant tone Wednesday, telling reporters he was “saddened” by the pressure Egypt was facing but insisting authorities “can’t back down or won’t change course because of some aid.”
