A Strategic Gesture
(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - Azzam's release is a strategic gesture by Mubarak to Sharon, part of a maneuver designed to involve Egypt in disengagement and the renewal of the peace process following Arafat's death. Yet this should not be seen as a sweeping change in Israeli-Egyptian relations. There is no proof or sign that Azzam was connected in any way to Israel's intelligence services. Sources in the know vehemently deny he was.
