Egypt Accuses Keir Starmer of Lying
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was “delighted” to welcome Alaa Abd el-Fattah “back” to the UK after he was released from his decade-long prison term in Egypt. Then the news came out about el-Fattah’s social media posts, in which he called for “killing all the Jews” and “white people,” and for good measure, every member of the British police. Starmer then insisted he had not known any of this, and he certainly was not any longer “delighted” with Abd el-Fattah’s return to the UK. But he did not say, as the Tories have demanded, that he would strip el-Fattah of his British citizenship, that had been given to him in 2021 in the hope that it would cause the Egyptian government to go lightly on his sentence for “spreading false news” and agitating against the state. Nor would Starmer, as the Tories also now demand, deport Abd el-Fattah either back to Egypt or to any Muslim state — Iran? Afghanistan? — ready to take him. But now the plot thickens: the government of Egypt claims that Starmer is lying, that all along Cairo had kept him informed of Abd el-Fattah’s “extremism,” including the contents of his social media posts.

Egypt says U.K. PM Starmer is lying
— and knew all about Abd El-Fattah’s extremism
by Monica Showalter, American Thinker, December 29, 2025:
A few days ago, U.K., Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer triumphantly announced that he had ‘rescued’ an Islamist ‘democracy activist’ and ‘political prisoner‘ with a gargantuan hatred for Jews and the West from an Egyptian prison where he was serving time for inciting violence on social media.
I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief.
I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment.
Alaa’s case has been a top priority…

When news of just what was in Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s social media posts got out — about killing Jews, raping white women, calling for more terror attacks on the West, calling for burning down No. 10 Downing Street, declaring white people ‘not human,’ and other horrible stuff, Starmer claimed he had no idea about the posts and primly called them ‘abhorrent.’
Now Egypt says he was lying:
Important update: Cairo has outright rejected Starmer’s reported assertion that he was unaware of Alaa’s record of incitement to violence, maintaining that British officials were explicitly briefed on the matter.

It seems credible that Egypt would have told them all about it as the Brits made their pleas to let this extremist out. They did, after all, put him in jail for a reason. And they undoubtedly resented the backstory here, that Britain would be holding up Egypt as a bad guy on the human rights front over this innocent guy who only wanted to rape white women and kill every Jew….
Making a bad situation even worse is the fact that Abd el-Fattah had never even lived in the UK.
Isn’t it clear that the Egyptian government would of course have kept the British government well-informed about Abd el-Fattah’s extremism, including his posts on Jews, white people, and the police. The Egyptians had a vested interest in proving to the British that there was good reason to imprison him, and his series of tweets were evidence enough to make their case. Starmer has been caught in a lie. He is the most unpopular prime minister in the last century, and this business about Abd el-Fattah — “what did Starmer know and when did he know it?” — may be enough to sink his already listing ship of state, the S.S. Naufragium, now just barely bobbing above its Plimsoll line.
