Egyptian involvement in Syria negotiations showing results, positive for Israel -Haaretz

Egypt’s “involvement” in negotiations in Syria is already showing results, Zvi Bar’el writes in Haaretz (paywall). Bar’el says Egypt’s negotiations between the rebel militias and the regime have resulted in cease-fire agreements. He adds, “From Israel’s standpoint, Egypt’s involvement is important. Any country engaged in blocking Iran’s influence in Syria serves Israel’s interests. But that’s especially true when said country is Egypt, which is Israel’s partner in the war on terror in Sinai and an ally (together with Saudi Arabia and Jordan) with whom it sees eye to eye about both the Iranian threat and the danger of Syria disintegrating into cantons.”
