For the first time since 1982 Israel will take part in Cairo’s annual book fair, which opens January 22, according to reports from the Egyptian capital Sunday. Israel was not allowed to participate in the 1983 fair because of its invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Last year, Egypt said Israel had applied too late and no stands were available.
