Egypt Denies Calling Israel an "Enemy State"
(Ha'aretz) Barak Ravid - Over the last few days, Arab media reported that Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit was asked during a visit to Beirut if he had any messages to relay from Israel regarding reports that Syria transferred Scud missiles to Hizbullah. Aboul Gheit reportedly answered that his country does not relay messages from "the enemy." In response, Israel's ambassador to Cairo, Yitzhak Levanon, on Monday filed an official complaint with the Egyptian Foreign Ministry. The director of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry stressed that Aboul Gheit was misunderstood, and that he meant to say that he could not relay messages from Israel to Lebanon because Lebanon sees Israel as an enemy state.
