News that Egypt and Saudi Arabia plan to build a bridge spanning the Red Sea made the rounds today, despite Egyptian officials in Saudi Arabia denying approval of the project stating the issue had not been addressed, directly or indirectly, during any meetings between the two sides.
According to one Egyptian official, ?there are priorities more important to Egypt under the circumstances, and such a project requires an agreement in principle of the demarcation of the maritime boundary between the two countries in this vital and complex region.?
