The Israeli ambassador to Cairo and his staff have been working from Jerusalem for the past five months for security reasons, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. Work contracts for 30 local embassy employees and rental for the ambassador’s home in Maadi have not been renewed in four months, the newspaper says. An Egyptian Foreign Ministry official says the staff was supposed to return a few weeks ago.

Deputy Foreign Ministers Hamdi Sanad Loza and Hisham El Naqib met yesterday with a US military delegation visiting Egypt to discuss cooperation and regional issues, including combating terrorism and promoting stability in the Middle East and Africa, Al Masry Al Youm reports.
