Bennett-Sissi meeting shows Egypt wants to expand Israel ties, but up to a point
[IsraelTimes] Open nature of meeting sends encouraging message that cold peace could see a thaw, but Cairo remains very wary of provoking the public where anti-Israel sentiment dominates.Israeli officials — not least of all the prime minister — expressed great satisfaction and optimism after Naftali Bennett’s first meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi that the cold peace that Israel has made do with since 1979 is about to thaw. Bennett said after the Monday visit to Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula that he had "an important and very good meeting" with Sissi, in which the two "laid the foundation for deep ties moving forward."
