It was another pleasantly quiet morning for Egypt in the foreign press, with the suspected killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey overshadowing most other news in the region.

A couple of brief headlines worth noting:

  • Egypt canceled a planned visit to Gaza to mediate reconciliation talks between rival Palestinian factions on Wednesday amid an escalation in violence between the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Reuters and Jerusalem Post have the story.
  • Former lawmaker Mustafa El Nagar and dentist Walid Shawki have been missing for three weeks and are believed to have been detained by Egyptian authorities, their wives told AP.
