Any comment on Mubarak’s illness and what seems to be a crisis in Egypt?
Good question. There was intense speculation in Egypt that Mubarak was dead, but the Egyptian stock market rose yesterday after state-owned TV showed pictures of him working at Heidelberg’s University Hospital. I’m told his quarters at Heidelberg are very closely guarded. What is important to remember is that right now there is no obvious successor to Mubarak, and several people in the US, Damascus, Jordan, and Israel are monitoring the situation very closely. [JF]
Thanks for that response.
I thought Mubarak looked surprisingly healthy in the hospital videos.
