It’s a mixed bag for Egypt in the international press this morning

There’s no single story dominating the global conversation on Egypt this morning. The Washington Post has a look at whether the State Department will withhold part of America’s USD 1.3 bn in military aid to Egypt, while the National notes that veteran publisher and political organizer Hisham Kassem will hear a verdict this week in a defamation case involving a former government minister. Meanwhile, the Economist notes that a court will soon decide whether to allow the government to demolish more of the City of the Dead to make room for a flyover.
