Former Ambassador: Israel-Egypt Ties Unhurt
(Jerusalem Post) Hilary Leila Krieger - "Relations between Israel and Egypt have not really suffered with the change of regime in Egypt," former Israeli ambassador to Egypt Shalom Cohen told the Washington Institute for Near East Policy on Friday. "While Egypt's approach is frosty at the leadership level, it is almost business as usual at the working level." Cohen pointed to ties between the two militaries and foreign ministries, and that intelligence contacts are continuing unchanged under the new government, with ongoing partnership over border issues, terrorism, smuggling and certain economic issues.
