Egypt didn’t just expel 80,000 Jews. It robbed them blind.

A new report shows that Egypt stole $59 billion worth of assets from its Jewish citizens—people who had lived there for thousands of years. Homes. Businesses. Synagogues. Entire communities—erased.

A newly released report by the organization Justice for Jews from Arab Countries (JJAC) sheds light on the rich cultural legacy and the eventual persecution and expulsion of Egypt’s Jewish community during the 20th century. The report also estimates that the Egyptian government unlawfully confiscated assets from these expelled Jews, with the current value of those assets reaching approximately $59 billion.

Jewish presence in Egypt stretches back to biblical times, with the Exodus from slavery in ancient Egypt to freedom in the Land of Israel remembered annually during the Passover holiday. The JJAC report serves as a reminder of that ancient connection while drawing attention to a more recent chapter of suffering and displacement endured by Egyptian Jewry.

"Unlike its ancient counterpart, the modern-day uprooting of Egyptian Jewry is not a tale of triumph but of tragedy," the report stated, noting that the 1930s marked the beginning of the end for Egyptian Jewry with the rise of the antisemitic Muslim Brotherhood, which blended militant Islamism with European-influenced fascism.

“From this point on, things began spiraling downward for Egyptian Jews,” the JJAC report noted. “Violence, arrests, bombings, blood libels, and the virus of Jew-hatred had spread like a biblical plague throughout Egypt.”…
