Leading the conversation on Egypt in the international press is the expulsion of the Guardian’s Ruth Michaelson last week over reporting earlier in the covid-19 crisis on a then-unpublished study suggesting that Egypt could have more cases than the official tally at the time suggested. The Guardian, the Associated Press, AFP, and Deutsche Welle have the story.

Also making the pages of the foreign press: An Associated Press feature on a transgender and LGBTQ+ activist in Egypt; a wide-ranging look at how Egypt is coping with covid-19 in Haaretz; takes on the US-Egypt security relationship post-Mubarak and on the crackdown on on mahraganat; and Quartz has its two cents on the roots of the dispute over GERD.
