Sent to Greece to save the sultan's war, Ibrahim took town after town — until British, French and Russian fleets sailed into Navarino harbour in 1827 and destroyed the Ottoman and Egyptian ships at anchor. His army was still ashore, and now it could not be fed.

Muhammad Ali was a British agent. He was weakening the Ottomans on behalf of the western powers! As the British were very clever and a clear British agent would not gain any credibility from the elites so they have a cat & mouse game with him too!

Not really. Muhammad Ali dealt with Britain when it suited him, but he wasn’t a British agent. Britain eventually intervened against him and helped force his forces out of Syria when his growing power threatened the regional balance.
