The New Egyptian Foreign Minister

I received many take on him.  In sum, I am told t hat he is not as good as Al-`Arabi but not as bad as Fahmi, but he may be just as bad.  I am told that he is close to the Military Council because he had served in the Army.  He apparently volunteered to serve for a few years in the Egyptian embassy in Israel.  He was close to Prince Bandar while serving in Washington, DC and is reportedly tied to the corrupt business elite in Egypt.  A very bad choice indeed.
