Meanwhile, in Egypt, a Egyptian-German student and peace activist has been arrested after taking part in a protest in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Friends and relatives say they haven’t heard from Philip Rizk since Egyptian security forces nabbed him Friday night. He had just completed a six-mile walk in protest of Egypt’s closure of its border with Gaza. Egyptian forces also reportedly tried to arrest Rizk’s parents but were deterred by German embassy officials.
