Visiting Israel
The Foreign Minister and Intelligence chief finally make it out to see Sharon, to talk about pushing Palestinian peace, and other things. Initial conclusions -- that more Egyptian troops will probably be sent to Egypt's border with Israel, even though that goes against the peace agreement... The Jerusalem Post puts the number at 700.
And here's the BBC's take.

Meanwhile, there's controversy over the possibility of Egypt mediating in Syria-Israel talks.

 

Politics at home
The opposition alliance wants more public access.

Big role abroad
Amr Moussa is on a high-level panel discussing UN security council reform...

QIZ details
Specialized textile site provides details on where the US-Egypt QIZ industrial zones negotiations are heading...

 

Big money Tut
NY Times does a big story on the very interesting financial details surrounding the upcoming King Tut exhibition in the States... Longer version (which might not require registration) appears in the International Herald Tribune.

Plus, here's a photo of antiquities chief Zahi Hawass with an impressive King Tut background at a press conference launching the initiative in Los Angeles.

 

Strange update...
The Guardian provides more details on the new smell-enhanced Egypt tour previews becoming available at British travel agencies.

 

Down for a while
Egypt's world champ squash star steps down from the top for a while... 

Another death
Arafat's brother dies of cancer in Cairo...

Question
Was a Baghdad car bomb meant for Orascom-owned Iraqna?
