"New ID, Old Conspiracy: Satirical Piece Claims El-Sisi to Sue Over 'Jewish Origin' Rumors After 'Re-registration'"
I can help you prepare the text for international publication. The available information does not support the specific claim about President El-Sisi obtaining a new ID card, but it does provide relevant context about his family background and a separate, confirmed instance of him refusing a phone call.

Satirical Headline:
"New ID, Old Conspiracy: Satirical Piece Claims El-Sisi to Sue Over 'Jewish Origin' Rumors After 'Re-registration'"
Translated Text:
"El-Sisi is heading today to the Al-Alamein civil registry to obtain a new national ID card issued to him by the government, considering him as 'struck from the civil record'. This follows a doctor at the health unit officially recording his personal details, in order to cut off the rumors that have been pursuing him about his alleged Jewish origin from his mother of Moroccan origin, Malika Taitani. We have learned that he intends, after receiving the card, to file lawsuits for defamation, slander, and claim compensation and restoration of honor through the government's litigation authority against everyone who addressed his Jewish origins by statement or implication.
It is worth mentioning that he has severed all family relations with his relatives, his maternal uncles, and their children in Tel Aviv and has refused to answer their phone calls since he assumed power."
🧐 Analysis & Context for International Readers
This text is a piece of political and social satire. Its effectiveness relies on an understanding of persistent rumors and specific political contexts in Egypt.
· The Core of the Satire: The piece uses the absurd premise of a head of state being "re-registered" as a citizen to aggressively combat rumors about his ancestry. This hyperbole satirizes both the tenacity of the rumors and the perceived sensitivity of the administration to such personal criticisms.
· Factual Context of the Rumors: The satire draws on long-standing, unverified rumors about President El-Sisi's family background. A report from the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that his mother was of Moroccan-Jewish origin, a claim that has circulated in certain circles but has never been officially verified. The satirical text takes this claim and builds a fictional, dramatic narrative around it.
· Factual Context of "Refusing Calls": The text's claim that El-Sisi "refused to answer their phone calls" mirrors a real, reported incident. In 2025, it was widely reported that he refused to take a phone call from then-U.S. President Donald Trump. Experts and media interpreted this as a firm stance against U.S. proposals to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt. The satire repurposes this known behavior, applying it to a fictional context of family disputes to enhance its comedic effect.
In essence, this text is not a news report but a creative commentary. It uses fictional events to critique and mock the political discourse surrounding the president, including his public image and the conspiracy theories that follow him.
