There’s an observation in this article, Court in Egypt Annuls Deal With Israel on Gas Supply, worth mentioning:
The case has raised difficult political issues for Egypt. Officials must walk a tightrope between maintaining relations with their neighbor and mollifying public opinion, which is often hostile to the Jewish state.
No doubt public opinion in Egypt is driven by the vilification of Israel in the official press. Maybe if the government would promote a more positive view of Israel, there wouldn’t a tightrope.
