Cairo, Feb 6 : Fomer Egyptian Prime Minister Sherif Ismail died at the age of 67, Egypt's official news agency MENA reported.

“I mourn with deep sorrow a virtuous man among Egypt’s best, a man in whom the nation’s conscience was embodied, the former prime minister, the honourable Dr. Sherif Ismail,” the president wrote on Facebook Saturday.
Ismail was sworn in as prime minister in 2015 before resigning in 2018 as Sisi began his second presidential term, after a landslide victory against one of his supporters.
According to Sisi, Ismail “assumed responsibility in the most difficult of circumstances and the hardest of times”.
