According to Egyptian authorities, the man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after stabbing the doctor in the back while he was drinking water.
Egypt's Doctors Syndicate in Luxor also took legal action against the individual and filed an official lawsuit accusing the man of attempted murder. Additionally, the syndicate is closely monitoring the doctor to ensure his safety and guarantee all his necessary legal rights.
The organization also stressed against any assault on local doctors, under any circumstances.
Egypt has recently witnessed an increase in such incidents. A surgeon in Northern Cairo also got assaulted by a member of parliament while working in the hospital, and another doctor was repeatedly beaten up by a patient who visited his clinic.

Mass prison break in Lebanon as 19 detainees escape Ghazir police station
Around midnight Saturday into Sunday, 19 detainees escaped from the Ghazir police station detention center in Lebanon's Kesrouan-Jbeil district, according to a source in the Internal Security Forces (ISF). The group, consisting of 13 Syrians, five Lebanese, and one Egyptian national, reportedly broke through a wall in the holding cell to make their escape. The breakout went unnoticed for approximately an hour and a half, giving the fugitives enough time to flee the area and evade immediate capture. By early Sunday morning, ISF personnel managed to apprehend one of the Lebanese escapees in the Jbeil area. An internal investigation has been launched to determine whether negligence or collusion played a role in the incident. Meanwhile, search operations are ongoing, and security forces remain on high alert in an effort to locate the remaining fugitives. The Lebanese Army has not issued any comment at the time of publication. Lebanon has witnessed a series of prison breaks in recent years, coinciding with a deepening economic crisis. In May, an armed group ambushed a police patrol in Akkar and freed a detainee en route to court. In 2022, 19 inmates escaped from a Jounieh prison, and around 30 others broke out from Beirut's Adlieh detention center after smuggling in a tool and escaping through a window.

Australian engineer freed from Iraqi prison after four years
After spending more than four years in an Iraqi prison, Australian engineer Robert Pether has been granted a conditional release — a development welcomed by his family and supporters. Pether, 50, was arrested in 2021 alongside a colleague over a contract dispute involving their employer, CME Consulting, and the Central Bank of Iraq. The pair were later convicted of fraud and sentenced to five years in prison and a USD 12 million fine. However, the UN has described Pether's detention as arbitrary and in violation of international law, while a 2022 ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce found the Iraqi central bank to be at fault in the business dispute. Pether's wife, Desree, who lives in Ireland with the couple's family, described the news as a moment of mixed emotions. 'It's the first time in over four years that we've taken one step in the right direction,' she told the BBC. 'There's a tiny glimmer of hope, but there's another mountain still to go over. He needs to be home and in hospital.' According to Desree, her husband is in poor health after years of incarceration. He is unable to keep food down and has reportedly not eaten properly in months. She also raised concerns that he may be suffering a relapse of skin cancer. 'He's unrecognisable. If he got on a plane now and they were checking his passport, they would not know it was the same person,' she said. Although freed from prison, Pether is still facing legal proceedings in Iraq and remains under a travel ban. The family has now launched a crowdfunding campaign in the hopes of securing private hospital treatment for him in Baghdad. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong described the release as a "positive development" following years of advocacy. "I know the personal toll Mr Pether's detention has taken on him and his family and hope this news brings a measure of relief after years of distress," she said, adding that Australia remains concerned about his health and the unresolved legal matters. Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris also welcomed the news, saying that Iraq's Foreign Minister had personally confirmed Pether's release in a phone call. 'I welcomed this as a first step to his being allowed to return to his family in Roscommon,' Harris said. Pether had been living in County Roscommon prior to his arrest and had spent nearly a decade working in the Middle East. He was leading a major reconstruction project for the Central Bank's Baghdad headquarters when he and his Egyptian colleague Khalid Radwan were detained.

On December 24, 2014, an aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force crashed in Syria. Bringing the case to trial was the result of extensive cooperation with officials in Belgium, France and the United States, prosecutor Olin said last week. Eyebrow scar It was thanks to a scar on the suspect's eyebrow, visible in the video and spotted by Belgian police, that Krayem was identified and the investigation was opened, said another prosecutor on the case, Reena Devgun. Other evidence includes conversations on social media, including one where Krayem asks a person if he has seen a new video "where a man gets fried", according to the investigation, a copy of which has been viewed by AFP. "I'm in the video," Krayem said, pointing out the moment when the camera zooms in on his face. The other person replies: "Hahaha, yes, I saw the eyebrow."
