Mourad Mouwafi or Muwafi (Arabic: مراد موافي; born 2 February 1950) is an Egyptian politician and major-general.
[citation needed] In 2012, a deadly attack was carried out by suspected Islamists near the Gaza-Israel-Egypt border.

It was reported that he intended to establish his own political party that would support Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi should he win the election.
