And the artist, Yasser Jalal, who embodied the character of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in the third part of the series “The Choice”, announced his donation to the Long Live Egypt Fund in the amount of 3 million pounds.

He pointed out that Egypt and the whole world are going through a major crisis, and it will not pass except with the solidarity of all, calling on his colleagues to donate and repeat what he did.
In the first reaction from his colleagues in the artistic community, the artist, Randa Al-Buhairi, on her personal page on the social networking site Facebook, praised Jalal’s position, and said that what he did would set an example for others, and she is the first of them to donate to their country, thanking him.
