Some of them did, and as they were leaving they were heard to make some threatening statements to some of the patrons, along the lines of "Enjoy it while you can." Does anyone remember the exact quote?
In Sign of a Thaw, Egypt, Israel Swap Prisoners
By Ken Ellingwood, Times Staff Writer
JERUSALEM -- Egypt released an Israeli man convicted of spying and Israel freed six Egyptian students Sunday in a prisoner swap viewed as a sign of warming relations between the two neighbors.
Azzam Azzam, an Israeli Arab, crossed into Israel from Taba in the Sinai Peninsula after his release by Egyptian authorities. Azzam was sentenced to 15 years in prison after Egypt convicted him in 1997 of spying, a charge Israel steadfastly denied during the seven years it sought his release.

In a sign of the apparent conciliation, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak last week offered a warm endorsement of Sharon, urging the Palestinians to work with him as their best chance for achieving peace.

Yet the two countries plan to sign an agreement next week for the creation of special joint Israeli-Egyptian ventures that would manufacture products for export to the United States. Similar operations export textiles from Jordan.
