El-Fattah has issued an apology for his “shocking and hurtful” social media posts, which he wrote greater than a decade in the past.

He wrote this morning (December 29): “Looking at the tweets now – the ones that were not completely twisted out of their meaning – I do understand how shocking and hurtful they are, and for that I unequivocally apologise.

“They were mostly expressions of a young man’s anger and frustrations in a time of regional crises (the wars in Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza), and the rise of police brutality against Egyptian youth.

“I particularly regret some that were written as part of online insult battles, with total disregard for how they read to other people. I should have known better.”
