Providing additional military assistance
The White House
lifted an executive hold on weapon sales to Egypt Tuesday, as part of a broader
attempt to "modernize" the military relationship between the two
countries. President Obama informed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of
the change in the administration's posture, according to a White House notice.
The loosening of restrictions comes just days after Egypt began bombing
operations against militants in Yemen.
