Egypt taps new spy chief
[IsraelTimes] Key regional mediator Egypt replaces the head of its powerful state intelligence agency, local media reports, appointing a new chief, Hassan Rashad.

Abbas Kamel, a close ally of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and his former chief of staff, has held the post since 2018. He held the role of the main Egyptian mediator in talks between Israel and Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
Kamel will now take up the post of presidential advisor and envoy, as well as general coordinator of security services, according to state-aligned media Extra News. It is unclear if he will maintain his role as mediator in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
