Israeli citizen drowns in Sinai Peninsula
An Israeli citizen drowned in the Sinai Peninsula, the Foreign Ministry says.
The ministry says it won’t give further details at the moment. Hebrew media outlets identify the victim as a 50-year-old man, without naming him.

As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
