the prime minister he dealt with for many of those years is bibi netanyahu. >>> now for the last lookpt's revolution has entered a new phase, the war of symbols. on the one hand, you have egypt's current custodian, general cici. here is his face, painted on to chocolate. if you don't care for sweets, here's a sandwich named after him, the cici mix. there's an entire tumblr site dedicated to spotting images of cici. on the other hand, literally a hand has become the other side of the story. this four-fingered salute is being considered the symbol of defiance against military rule. it's a reference to the mosque where muslim brotherhood supporters clashed recently. the message is spreading outside of egypt. turkey's prime minister erdogan has done the four-fingered salute in support of the muslim brotherhood. behind these symbols lie the two great unresolved issues in egypt together. will general sisi cede power to a democratically-elected government, eventually, and will the muslim brotherhood be allowed to participate if there are elections? the correct answer to our gps challenge que
