Israel Says Envoy to Return to Egypt When Security Guaranteed

Israel said on Saturday its ambassador to Egypt, Yitzhak Levanon, will return to Cairo when security of the embassy of the Jewish state is guaranteed by the Arab nation.

Levanon will take his post again "as as soon as the security of the embassy is provided by Egypt," government spokesman Ron Sofer told army radio after Levanon and other diplomats returned home following an attack on their mission in Cairo Friday.
