Brotherly love with Lebanon… Lebanese President Michel Aoun urged President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to launch an “Arab salvation initiative” based on a unified strategy to fight terrorism, Al Masry Al Youm reports. The initiative would “work on finding political solutions to the persisting crisis in the Arab world, especially in Syria where fire has been raging for years,” he said, Al Arabiya reports. During a joint press conference following the two presidents’ meeting, Sisi expressed Egypt’s readiness to support Lebanon’s military and security institutions, Al Mal reports, in what could be a veiled statement against Hezbollah, which Aoun defended in remarks to a private Egyptian TV station earlier this week, The National reports. Separately, Interior Minister Magdi Abdel Ghaffar met with his Lebanese counterpart, Ahram Gate reports. The Trade and Industry Ministry is also looking to capitalize on the Lebanese delegation’s visit to Egypt and is mulling forming a joint Egyptian-Lebanese Business Council to increase investments between the two countries, Al Borsa reports.
