Human rights are still dominating coverage of Egypt in the international press, with Reuters and the Washington Post still Malaysia’s deportation of six Egyptians, which we noted yesterday.

Other headlines worth noting in brief include:

  • Egyptian workers hoping to find employment in the Gulf are getting squeezed out as GCC countries nationalize their jobs, leaving the Division of Recruitment Companies at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce scrambling for alternatives, according Al Monitor.
  • Egypt has been slowly regaining its appetite for stories about the monarchy, says The National.
  • Egypt and Hamas’ improving relationship is raising eyebrows, as Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh concludes a 24-day trip in Egypt, reports The National.
