Egypt to suspend ties
2002-04-03
  • Egypt announced Wednesday it was limiting diplomatic contacts with Israel, but did not sever ties despite pressure from protesters, who have clashed with police in angry demonstrations against Israel's offensive in the West Bank. Egypt will suspend all diplomatic contacts with Israel except those that "serve the Palestinian cause," Information Minister Safwat el-Sherif said, quoted by Egypt's official Middle East News Agency.
    At least they haven't broken relations. Mubarak's still probably watching the wind pretty closely. He has to make a move to appease his own nuts, but doesn't want to be left holding an appendage in his hand if the Israelis actually win.
