Mahmoud Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi (Arabic: محمود عبد الفتاح سعيد حسين خليل السيسي; born 1982)[1] is the deputy head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate and the son of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

[2] Mahmoud is the oldest son of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and his wife Entissar Amer, who are cousins.

[6] The reason cited for the move and attributed to people close to president el-Sisi was a "negative impact on [president el-Sisi's] image" resulting from Mahmoud's alleged ineffectiveness in his responsibilities and visible role in high-level decision-making.

The reason attributed to senior United Arab Emirates government officials is that they saw Mahmoud's role as "damaging to the president".

Regional and international media attention to Mahmoud's role was cited as significantly harming president el-Sisi's image and threatening the "stability of the administration".
