Lamees El Hadidy made hay out of an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elwatannews.com\/news\/details\/2060329\">Al Watan newspaper<\/a> report on an MP\u2019s allegation that high-profile business leader Raouf Ghabbour had offered the House of Representatives microbuses worth EGP 650k. The piece not so subtly suggests that Ghabbour made the alleged offer of a donation to push forward the directive, which would give incentives to car assemblers who go further up the value chain into manufacturing and thereby protect them against unfair advantages enjoyed by European Union, Turkish and Moroccan imports. The measure has broad backing from automotive assemblers (read: the people who create industrial jobs) and is almost universally reviled by pure importers.<\/p>\n<p>The allegation was made by MP Mohammed Zein, a member of the House Transport Committee, who said he has submitted a formal request for an inquiry into the matter. <strong>Lamees was oddly spineless over the entire affair<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aMKGrsoT5AM\">watch<\/a>, runtime 7:16), saying only that the House should never accept gifts that would raise questions about conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/05\/02\/automotive-directive-violates-egypts-european-ftas-surkos\/\">As we noted yesterday<\/a>, <strong>importers threatened by the prospect of the automotive <\/strong><strong>directive<\/strong> \u2014 which the Ismail government sees as a clear pro-jobs move that would help deepen Egypt\u2019s industrial base \u2014 <strong>have arranged a drumbeat of coverage<\/strong> in the domestic press attacking the proposed measure, which remains in committee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al Hadidi then moved on to talk about what she characterized as a persistent shortage <\/strong><strong>in meds<\/strong> in the market, saying the need for national health insurance is becoming more pressing and might just be the only way to improve citizens\u2019 access to needed pharma products (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xWlthzNk0UU\">watch<\/a>, runtime 19:34).<\/p>\n<p>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s <strong>Lobna Asal discussed the proposed Investment Act with House <\/strong><strong>Economics Committee Deputy Chair Amr El Gohary, <\/strong>who said he expects discussion to wrap up within a couple of days.

Meanwhile, mild echoes of the papal visit continue to be heard (see the New York Times\u2019 editorial \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/05\/02\/opinion\/humane-papal-message-egypt.html\">A Humane Papal Message in Egypt<\/a>,\u201d complete with gratuitous \u201cdictatorship\u201d dig), but no story has yet emerged to take its place. It\u2019s almost as if the Western press has gotten its fill (for the moment).<\/p>\n<p>Without question, the most significant story out of Egypt yesterday was a Reuters piece by Ahmed Hassan and Lin Noueihed contending that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/egypt-politics-sinai\/\"><strong>Daesh affiliate Wilayit Sinai are seeking to impose religious rules in North Sinai<\/strong><\/a>. The investigative piece found the group \u201cis seeking to impose its hardline interpretation of Islam on the local populace for the first time\u201d with evidence it has \u201ccreated a morality police force, known as a Hisba, to enforce strict rules against such behaviour as smoking, men shaving their beards or women exposing their faces.\u201d Hassan and Noueihed say this is part of a development that marks a strategic change and the militants had previously focused on attacking the police, soldiers, and informants only. A security source told Reuters, however, that the militants were unable to impose themselves on society: \u201cThey come out for two minutes and film two cars and say, \u2018We set up a checkpoint.\u2019 This was all for the media, for people like you to write things that bear no relation to the reality on the ground.\u201d One activist from Rafah says that, while the militants are not in control of the region, \u201cthey are present, they pop up like a jack-in-the-box, they kill or kidnap someone and go back into hiding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/travel\/3463363\/egypt-upset-by-uks-refusal-to-cancel-sharm-el-sheikh-flight-ban\/\">UK tabloid the Sun<\/a> reports that Egyptian officials are <strong>losing patience with the<\/strong><strong>Britain\u2019s travel ban on Sharm El Sheikh. <\/strong>And in a complete shocker, a UN study of 10k men in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Palestine is being used to declare that \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-mideast-gender-study-idUSKBN17Y2CP\"><strong>Men in the Middle East are slow to embrace gender equality<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d Young men surveyed were no more \u201cprogressive \u2026 than their fathers and the older generation.\u201d Also notable: That these four countries apparently make up \u201cthe Middle East,\u201d likely because the odds of doing a similar survey in the GCC without being tossed in the slammer or deported is about the same as our chance of being elected Pope of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>And after US President Donald Trump said nice things about the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte \u2014 accused of sanctioning the mass extrajudicial killing of [redacted] dealers \u2014 plenty of US media outlets with a liberal bent to them are wondering at why \u201cTrump keeps praising international strongmen,\u201d as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/trump-keeps-praising-international-strongmen-alarming-human-rights-advocates\/2017\/05\/01\/6848d018-2e81-11e7-9dec-764dc781686f_story.html?utm_term=.e48f028f2baf\">Washington Post<\/a> puts it.
