It’s a quiet morning for Egypt in the international press, with no one topic holding particular significance — a welcome change from the arrest of Egyptian artists being sued and arrested on moral grounds. The most interesting pieces if the morning:

Haaretz blames the lack of progress on a three-year old agreement to ship gas from the Tamar field to Egypt for processing before exporting to the EU. With the prospect of a Israel-to-EU supply line through Egypt materializing, Egypt and Cyprus are looking to be the EU’s gas supplier. The piece notes plans to hold an energy summit in December between Egypt, Cyprus, Greece and Italy, with Israel not being invited to take part.
