¶2. (S/NF) Post appreciates the Department's efforts to quickly respond to Egypt's request for four Z portal multiview cargo and vehicle screening systems to improve their capacity to combat arms smuggling into Gaza (reftel). We are continuing to follow up with our GOE interlocutors to determine which Egyptian agency will operate the equipment, although EGIS will be the initial interlocutor.

¶4. (S/NF) Action request continued: We anticipate that Acting U/S Mull will be visiting Cairo on February 8 to brief the Egyptians on the Copenhagen workshop on Gaza interdiction. Post requests a status update on potential U.S. support for screening systems in time for U/S Mull's visit. SCOBEY
