White House special adviser Jared Kushner and US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt are scheduled to visit Egypt while on a Middle East tour that starts next week, the US National Security Council said yesterday. The officials will also visit Israel and Saudi Arabia to talk over the next stages of Arab-Israeli peace efforts, according to the AP. The US administration is currently finalizing a new plan for Palestinian-Israeli peace “with an eye on a possible release this summer.”

This coming Sunday is father’s day in Canada, Ireland, Mexico, the UK and the United States, among other countries. Not in Egypt, though: Depending on who you ask, Egypt (a) doesn’t have Father’s Day or (b) celebrates it on Thursday, 21 June.
