Tensions between Egypt and israel are back in the Israeli press

It’s still all about Egyptian-Israeli relations in the foreign press: Tension in our relations with our neighbors to the east — and the ceasefire Egypt brokered earlier this month between Palestinian militants and Israel — is still everywhere in the Israeli press. The silence of the Egyptian media on the tensions could be a sign that Cairo doesn’t intend to escalate matters but Israel needs to “tread carefully” in how it manages its relations with one of its closest regional partners, Zvi Bar'el writes for Haaretz. Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post is out with a piece looking at what’s behind the recent flare-up in tensions.

Also making headlines:

  • Positive coverage in the global travel press: CNN Travel lists Egypt as one of the 12 “cool places” to go for the fall and Conde Nast Traveler features the country as one of the best places to go to discover “architectural marvels” beyond the famed Giza Pyramids.
  • COP is off limits to some civil society groups: Some Egyptian NGOs say they are being excluded from the COP27 summit through the registration process because they are critical of the government. (The Guardian)
  • Gender violence: The murders of a number of women in the past few months raises concerns about the extent of gender-based violence and the lack of sufficient legal protection for women in the country. (Reuters)
