CAIRO — Facing the most serious crisis of his presidency, Mohammed Morsi is leaning more closely than ever on his Islamist allies in the Muslim Brotherhood, betting on their political muscle to push through a decisive victory in the referendum on Egypt’s divisive draft constitution.
As tens of thousands chanted for his downfall or even imprisonment in a fourth day of protests outside the presidential palace, Morsi’s advisers and Brotherhood leaders acknowledged Friday that outside his core base of Islamist supporters he feels increasingly isolated in the political arena and even within his own government.
