Until May 28, relations between Greece and Egypt appeared as solid as the granite cliffs surrounding the ancient Monastery of Saint Catherine at Mount Sinai. Just three weeks earlier, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi had traveled to Athens – his fifth visit since assuming power in 2014. The summit was lauded as a diplomatic triumph. Both […]
