Saturday’s shooting incident at the Egypt-Israel border is still dominating the conversation in the foreign press this morning: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weighed in on the issue yesterday, calling the shooting — which claimed the lives of three Israeli soldiers and one Egyptian officer — a “terrorist attack,” and calling on Egyptian authorities to work with Israel on an “exhaustive and thorough” joint investigation. Israel said the fire came for an Egyptian policeman, while the Egyptian Armed Forces said the officer who crossed the border was chasing suspected narcotics smugglers.
