The Israeli ambassador to Egypt Haim Koren’s guard was stopped from boarding an Air Sinai flight from Cairo to Tel Aviv because he was carrying a weapon which was not pre-registered.

Sources said: “While completing the traveling procedures of the Israeli ambassador and his private security guards at Cairo airport, one of his guards was carrying a weapon that was not included in the pre-approved weapons list.”

“The airport security authorities prevented the guard carrying the unauthorised weapon from traveling on the plane and accompanying the Israel ambassador, so he had to return back to the embassy,” the sources confirmed.
