Egyptian Journalist Suspended for Visiting Israel
(Ynet News) Roee Nahmias - Egypt's journalists union suspended Hussain Serag, the editor of the magazine October, for three months after he said he had visited Israel more than 25 times, thus violating a union ban on visits to the Jewish state. Separately, Hala Mustafa, editor-in-chief of Al-Demoqratiya magazine, was warned for meeting in her home with Israel's ambassador to Cairo Shalom Cohen. In 1979, Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel, but there continues to be a generally hostile popular attitude towards anything implying normal relations between the two neighbors.
