REUTERS/Mussa Qawasma CAIRO – 30 May 2025: Egypt has issued a strong condemnation of the Israeli occupation's decision to establish 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank. This move is seen by Cairo as a grave violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, further undermining the prospects for a just and lasting peace. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this decision represents a significant escalation and a blatant disregard for international legitimacy. It warned that such actions exacerbate tensions, fuel further violence, and undermine efforts to achieve a two-state solution, which Egypt firmly believes is the only viable path to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Egypt reiterated its unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent and sovereign state on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Cairo called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to take immediate and decisive action to halt Israel's settlement expansion policies and to ensure the implementation of international resolutions aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace. The statement emphasized that the establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under international law and constitute a major obstacle to any meaningful peace negotiations. Egypt called for an immediate cessation of all settlement activities and urged a return to direct negotiations between the Israeli and Palestinian sides to reach a final and comprehensive settlement based on internationally recognized parameters.

Al-Mashat Interview Panel for "Women Lead for Executives" Program at NTA
Israa Farhan Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, chaired one of the interview panels on Thursday for applicants to the 'Women Lead for Executives' program, organized by the National Training Academy (NTA) in partnership with the Ministry. This initiative is part of national efforts to qualify women for leadership roles and promote their economic, social, and political empowerment. Dr. Al-Mashat emphasized the importance of the 'Women Lead for Executives' program, which is one of the distinguished training programs provided by the NTA in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation. The program targets women in executive positions across various institutions, ranging in age from 22 to 50. She noted that with every round of interviews, she witnesses the advancement in the caliber of applicants and their eagerness to acquire the skills that will enable them to contribute to the prosperity and progress of our beloved nation. The Minister noted that Egyptian women have received significant attention under the leadership of H.E. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Republic. This has been reflected in the launch of the National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030 and the measures that have enabled women to hold leadership positions that were previously inaccessible. She added that empowering women economically, socially, and politically does not only benefit women themselves, but yields positive results across all aspects of life in Egypt. She further explained that women's empowerment is a key component of the state's efforts to invest in human capital and develop the skills of young men and women, enhancing their ability to assume leadership positions. The state is working to integrate gender equality and women's economic and social empowerment across all development plans. As such, women's empowerment has become a core component of the economic and social development plan, as well as various strategies and programs being implemented in cooperation with bilateral and multilateral development partners. Dr. Al-Mashat added: 'Empowering women economically, socially, and politically is a significant responsibility. Women are required to constantly prove their competence and capability to hold such positions. In addition, they bear a major responsibility in encouraging more women and girls to enter various fields of work, thereby increasing women's participation in the labor market.' Dr. Rasha Ragheb, Executive Director of the NTA, welcomed Dr. Rania Al-Mashat upon her arrival at the Academy headquarters in Giza Governorate. Dr. Al-Mashat and Dr. Ragheb toured the training sessions taking place under the Support for Improvement in Governance and Management (SIGMA) program.

The Minister took the opportunity to motivate the participants in the program, stressing the importance of the partnership between Egypt and the OECD.
