Gaza fuel cuts, Rafah attack top coverage of Egypt

Topping coverage of Egypt in the foreign press this morning is news of Egypt cutting fuel supplies to the Gaza strip after the Palestinian Authority slashed payments for the fuel. Outlets including Al Jazeera are noting accusations by Hamas officials that the move squeezes Hamas further.

In a surprising close second place are wire pickups of last Friday’s attack in Rafah, which left 23 Egyptian security personnel dead. Foreign outlets, including The Atlantic, are calling the attack the deadliest in the Sinai peninsula in over two years. They also note that this appears to be a return in Daesh’s strategy to attack security after it shifted focus to attack Coptic Christians.
