New Israel ambassador to Egypt installed

David Govrin, the new Israeli ambassador to Egypt, will begin his mission in Cairo on Sunday, according to news by Israel International Radio on Thursday.

Govrin had worked at the embassy in Cairo in the 1990s and was appointed as the new ambassador in February, following former ambassador Haim Koren who had served in office for two years, the news added.

The Egyptian Foreign Affairs Ministry is yet to confirm the news, which follows Minister Sameh Shoukry’s recent visit to Israel.
