Israeli delegation visits Egypt

Israel and Egypt held a meeting to discuss border security issues. According to media reports, the talks may indicate a willingness of both sides to engage in dialogue and de-escalation.

Israeli representatives held talks with Egyptian authorities. The focus of the discussion was security issues along the shared border.

The two sides exchanged concerns about security. Tel Aviv is concerned about Egypt's increased military activity in the Sinai Peninsula. Cairo, in turn, expressed concern over Israel's actions: the country has established observation towers. Egyptian authorities consider this a "threat to national security."
