Sisi and Trump’s phone call, Regeni video dominates international headlines on Egypt

President El Sisi’s phone call with The Donald topped coverage of Egypt in the foreign press, having been picked up The Wall Street Journal (paywall), the Associated Press, Reuters, Sputnik, and AFP, which the Daily Mail picked up, and a brief mention in The Washington Post. The coverage is largely focused on the fighting terrorism.

The footage aired on Egyptian state media of Giulio Regeni came in a close second, with the press looking lightly on the move. State TV cast him in the “sinister light” of the could-be spy, Sofia Lotto Persio writes for International Business Times.
