Egypt opened a new round of border talks with Israel on the issue of Taba, the Gulf of Aqaba beach site still held by Israel after it returned the rest of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt under the terms of their 1979 treaty. The talks site was moved to eastern Cairo because of the recent security force mutiny in the area near the Pyramids, where the talks were originally scheduled. Egypt said that Cairo’s after-dark curfew will be lifted Friday, a sign that security in the capital has improved.
