From Foreign Policy

I sat down for lunch with the Arab League secretary general, Amre Moussa. He overheard me talking about Netanyahu's meeting with Vice President Biden ... his ears perked up, and we ended up breaking bread. Good fellow to talk with at Davos, not much of a Middle East contingent here ... so he's not all that busy (more on the WEF's western orientation later--there's a lot worth considering there). My main takeaway: I came away much more concerned about Egypt's stability/trajectory than I was entering the meeting.

Most amusing bit: he's the first person I've ever met at Davos who asked me about my identity before answering a question. It was something about Israel/Palestine and he stopped and asked ... are you Jewish? From Israel? I gamely replied that I was at Davos, isn't everyone? (Ed note: I'm German/Armenian Catholic from Boston. Go Celtics!) To which, give him credit, he chuckled.
