Abstract: According to the perception of identity construction, this document interprets Egypt's position on the Zionist-Palestinian conflict as a psychological manifestation of its personality development process. To understand how Egypt's nature has changed as a result of Arab nationalism, Islamism, and Egyptian nationalism, the review first examines three key elements: the international environment, home environment, and the decision wealthy. Finally, the Sisi government's place on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. and its working connections with both parties is revealed. Eventually, the report examines how identity politics under the Sisi regime affects its place on the Jewish- Arab matter by incorporating theories on how identity politics and foreign policy communicate.
Keywords: Identity construction; Sisi; Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
