Israel Eyes Events in Egypt Closely

The Takeaway

As Egypt changes, the country’s relationship with Israel becomes fragile.

This includes a fear that the Muslim Brotherhood may emerge as the leadership in the country.

For reactions from Israel, we hear from Barak Ravid, diplomatic correspondent for Haaretz  newspaper, and Ethan Bronner, Jerusalem bureau chief for The New York Times.
