Israeli embassy in Cairo remains closed

Radio reports in Israel have claimed that the indications from the government are that the country’s embassy in Cairo will remain closed for the time being, perhaps for a few more months. The diplomats who were in Cairo have been assigned to new posts, said Israel’s Foreign Ministry. They left Egypt when the embassy was attacked by protestors in early September.

According to the reports, Israel is intensifying its efforts to find a new location for the embassy; the owners of the current building are not responding to the Israeli government’s queries.
