* Presidency has ** comment on audio aired by pro-Islamist TV * Egypt counts on financial support from wealthy Gulf Arabs * UAE, Saudi stress strong support of Sisi after recording By Yara Bayoumy CAIRO, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called the leaders of Gulf Arab states to reassure them of strong Egyptian-Gulf ties after a leaked audio recording that purports to show him and senior aides being derisive of their rich Gulf do**rs. Mekameleen, a pro-Islamist TV channel that aired the tape at the weekend, ran subtitles to identify the detailed conversations heard as being between Sisi and two of his senior staff on how to get Gulf states to funnel them more money. The last conversation suggested it had occurred before Sisi became president in 2014.
