Report: Israel withdrew Egypt envoy over security fears

Israel quietly removed its ambassador to Egypt at the end of 2016 over security concerns, a British newspaper reports.

According to the Telegraph, David Govrin is now based in Jerusalem, but the government hopes to send him back to Cairo in the near future.
