Rubio waives human rights curbs on $320 million Egypt military aid
Original: Rubio waives human rights restrictions to release $320 million in military aid to Egypt
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has waived human rights restrictions to release $320 million in military aid to Egypt. The waiver, covered widely across US media, means Congress-held funds tied to Cairo's human rights record can now flow. Critics are likely to question the decision given Egypt's record on political prisoners, while supporters point to Egypt's strategic importance as a US partner in the Middle East.
Why now: The US decision to bypass human rights conditions on major military funding to Egypt is a significant and controversial foreign policy move.
