CAIRO -- Egypt's foreign minister, Mohammed Amr, said Monday that the plan to recall the nation's ambassador to Israel ''was never on the table,'' confirming the government's decision to disavow a threat that generated widespread popular support at home but brought the government under intense diplomatic pressure to back off.

The killings set off the most serious diplomatic crisis between Egypt and Israel since the historic Camp David peace accords three decades ago, prompting diplomats from other nations to scramble to persuade both sides to cool tensions.
