Israeli Ambassador Govrin Begins Diplomatic Mission in Cairo
(el Ahram - Egypt) Menna Alaa El-Din - David Govrin, who served in the Cairo embassy in the 1990s as first secretary, was named the new Israeli envoy to Egypt last February following Haim Koren's request to return to Israel for "personal reasons" after only two years at the post. According to media reports, the new 53-year-old ambassador served most recently as the head of the Jordan and Morocco desk at the Israeli foreign ministry. His arrival in Cairo comes only days after Egypt's foreign minister Sameh Shoukry's visit to Israel on Sunday, the first by an Egyptian foreign minister since 2007.
