Fawzi was named head of EGIS effective 21 December 2014, replacing Mohamed Farid El-Tohamy.[1][6] As the service's head, Fawzy hired two lobbying companies to improve the service's image in the United States.[7]
Fawzy was fired by el-Sisi in a one-line statement in January 2018 and replaced by Abbas Kamel, a confidant and his chief of staff.[8] The reason for Fawzy's sacking was not identified by Egyptian officials, but came several days after a New York Times published a report describing phone calls in which an alleged Egyptian intelligence officer is instructing talk show hosts to convince their audiences to accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. For their part, Egyptian media claimed Fawzy was stepping down for health reasons.[6]
