(Reported By Stephen Little) The Palm Sunday attacks that killed at least 43 people at two churches in Egypt are expected to spur religious freedom advocates to demand that Egyptian President el-Sisi do more to protect the Christian community. Just last week, el-Sisi met with President Trump in Washington. Leaders in Congress hoped President Trump would encourage Egypt’s leader to do more to prevent more attacks against Egypt’s churches,

but there’s been no word affirming those hopes. Earlier this month, scores of Middle East experts, including author Joel Rosenberg, had an off-the-record meeting with el-Sisi. Rosenberg told CBN News that while Muslim-Christian relations and the need to protect Christian communities did not come up at that meeting, he will be pressing those issues in the future. MORE
