Egypt has reportedly begun taking measures to help clarify events surrounding the abduction of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank and mediating for their release, a senior Egyptian official told Palestinian news agency Ma’an on Sunday.
According to the report, Egyptian security forces were conducting talks with Palestinian officials, in attempts to open third-party channels of communication with various Palestinian terror groups, particularly Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
The unnamed Egyptian source told Ma’an that the situation would likely to be resolved soon.
He added that the three kidnapped Israelis – Gilad Sha’ar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Frankel – were, for now, “still in Palestine.”
If the Egyptians really can and do pull this off, then we know that this Egyptian government is the best thing yet to come out of Egypt for both the Egyptian people and for Israel.
It’s also an admission of who is responsible….as if we didn’t know.
