Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning an official trip to Egypt, an Israeli news outlet reported Monday on the heels of his under-the-radar trip to Saudi Arabia last week.
According to the Maariv newspaper, Netanyahu will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the coming weeks as part of an effort to improve economic relations between the two countries. Officials are also reportedly planning a meeting between Israeli and Egyptian economic delegations.
