Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday wished great success to the recently sworn-in Israeli Ambassador to Egypt, Amira Oron. Oron is the first female ambassador of Israel to Egypt. Egypt was the first Arab country to make peace with Israel in 1979. However, the relations between both countries have been improved in recent years. Six states including Egypt and Israel signed on Tuesday the East Mediterranean Gas Forum charter, instituting an assembly to unify natural gas exports from the eastern Mediterranean aiming to magnify regional gas trade.
