We’ve had peace with Egypt now for 38 years now, but let’s face it – relations have been on the freezing cold side.
So seeing this really warm meeting between Israeli Binyamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi in New York – their first in public – brings joy to the heart. Warm and fuzzies also ensue.
Note what al-Sisi’s translator says: “It is a great pleasure to have this meeting with you.”
They even look like they like each other.
This comes the same week we read about Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa denouncing the Arab boycott of Israel.
The times are-a-changin.’
