A post-Arafat thaw?
Tons of stories have appeared in the last few days about Egypt
supposedly working out a deal
with Israel, Palestine and other interested parties for a truce
and resumption
of negotiations.
Even the possibility of
Egypt returning
its ambassador to Tel Aviv seems to be on the table.
CS Monitor calls it "a
post-Arafat
thaw in a key Middle East relationship."
At the same time, there
have also been lots of Israeli reports saying such talk is premature.
Debating the Azzam-students
swap
The prisoner exchange -- Israeli spy Azzam for 6 Egyptian students
caught infiltrating the borders -- is being called demeaning
by various Egyptian politicos, while the presidential spokesman
continues to insist that it wasn't a swap.
One opposition politician
says "nothing can justify
this gift for Israel at time when it is increasing its aggression
against the Palestinians and the Arabs."
Economic cooperation on
the table
BBC puts Egypt's decision to cooperate with Israel to export
textiles to the US via the Qualified Industrial Zones into perspective,
as the industry struggles to deal with new worldwide trade
rules.

Historical footnote
A book critical of US empire building in Iraq uses British
empire building in Egypt as a better example: "For Ferguson,
empire is about “organised hypocrisy” and Egypt, which the British
ruled from 1882, can usefully serve as a lesson for the US in Iraq. He
compares the swift British military victory over Egyptian nationalist
forces to that of the US in Iraq. Like the US, Britain had economic
interests in Egypt—in the form of the Suez Canal. Like the Americans
they repeatedly promised to leave. In 1922 they went so far as to
declare Egypt independent. But they did not leave. By 1954 there were
80,000 British troops in the Canal Zone. Ferguson considers this to be
entirely justified. “This is known as hypocrisy,” he writes, “and
it is something to which liberal empires must sometimes resort.”
