#1 As I recall, Israeli shipping is not permitted through the Suez canal, so those cargos, at least, won't be at greater risk from this threat. I wonder who decided that not enough of the world is seriously annoyed with Islamist terror groups, and that now would be a good time to add more enemies?

#2 Israeli shipping is not permitted through the Suez canal

I think it is. Part of the peace agreement c.1979(?)

#3 An article has been posted on just that question, further down. You're right, Rafael. And in this case I'm very glad to be wrong. :-)
