Alleged spy in Egypt immigrated to Israel from US and trained in pro-Israel public relations
Alleged spy in Egypt immigrated to Israel from US and trained in pro-Israel public relationsAn alleged Israeli spy arrested in Egypt is an American immigrant to Israel who once wrote that he hoped to promote Israeli policies in the Arab world, according to information he and others provided on websites.
The man, detained on Sunday in a development that could strain Israels relations with Egypts new leaders, was identified by the Egyptian MENA news agency as Ilan Chaim Grabel, a misspelling of his family name, Grapel.
The Israeli ambassador to Cairo said on Monday that Israel was looking into the case. The US embassy in the Egyptian capital said it was working to confirm Grapels identity and citizenship.
