Arab League Boycott of Israel: Egypt's Position
Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel on 26 March 1979 officially lifting all sanctions against Israel.
Qatar
It is understood that Qatari-flagged ships will not be permitted to enter Egyptian ports. There should be no effect on Suez Canal transits for the time being, but there may be a requirement for Qatari crew members to be replaced while crossing the Canal.

The ongoing blockage of the Suez Canal has resulted in ships diverting south to transit around the Cape of Good Hope, potentially taking them through the High Risk Area. It is noted that whilst the threat of Somalia-based piracy is currently suppressed through a combination of military operations, application of BMP 5 and the presence of armed guards, an increase in maritime traffic through the area may present opportunities for Somali Pirate Groups to attack shipping. The consequences of not adopting effective security measures can be severe.
