[3] According to al-Jabarti, upon arrival in Egypt as governor, Recep Pasha was ordered by the Sultan Ahmed III to audit the accounts of his predecessor, Dellak Ali Pasha, and then kill him, as well as plan the assassination of a local bey named Ismail Bey ibn Iwaz and his partisans.
[5] Next, Recep Pasha asked a man named Mehmed Çerkes how to go about assassinating ibn Iwaz and his partisans.
After hammering out a plan, which involved getting ibn Iwaz bey to a remote location and sending men to kill him there, the two executed it but failed to kill ibn Iwaz.
Soon afterwards, Recep Pasha was dismissed from the governorship,[6] being reappointed as governor of Aleppo.
