#Egypt's Sisi orders prime minister to form new cabinet (neither this article, nor those announcing the cabinet’s resignation [presumably by order] explains the 5th W = why?) @egypt

The German supermarket chain #Rewe promotes their continual offers of regional goods, especially fruit and vegetables. Small signs tell customers that certain items are from the local area, and people seem to trust them.
An occasional check, though, and it is clear this is not the case. These potatoes are from #Egypt which, no matter how you fold the globe, is not regional to #Bremen. A second container had potatoes from Israel, also not local by any stretch of the imagination.
In fact, none of the items marked as Regional goods on offer in Rewe Bremen yesterday were regional at all.

The agreement took place during a phone conversation with Biden.

Is there an Egyptologist in the house? I'm looking for information about the attached glyph. I did a reverse image search and I found indication it is related to the god Ra. Where's a good resource of information for this sort of thing?
