Egypt FM in Nigeria for talks on bilateral cooperation, counterterrorism - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with his Nigerian counterpart Geoffrey Onyeama in Abuja on Monday to discuss regional developments, deepen bilateral relations, and enhance cooperation—particularly in the economic and counterterrorism spheres. The visit marks the first stop in Abdelatty's tour of five West African countries. According to Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ambassador Tamim Khalaf, Abdelatty praised the growing momentum in Egyptian-Nigerian relations and highlighted the third round of political consultations held in Cairo in January 2025—the first at the ministerial level—as a reflection of both countries' desire to elevate ties into a comprehensive partnership. Abdelatty also reviewed the current cooperation, emphasizing the need to build on the outcomes of the Egyptian-Nigerian Business Forum in Abuja to boost trade and investment across key sectors, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, energy, mining, construction, and information technology. The Egyptian delegation included representatives from leading companies as well as from the Egyptian Exporters Association, the Federation of Egyptian Industries, the Egypt Future Agency, the Export Council for Medical Industries, and the Mineral Wealth Authority—signalling Cairo's commitment to expanding economic ties. Counterterrorism cooperation On the security front, Abdelatty underscored Egypt's readiness to share its counterterrorism expertise by providing advanced field training and support for combating extremist ideologies. He stressed the importance of rejecting violence, promoting tolerance, and disseminating moderate Islamic values, while noting the key role played by both the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding, and Al-Azhar in supporting Nigeria's fight against radicalization. Support for UNESCO candidacy The talks were also attended by Khaled El-Anany, Egypt's candidate for the position of Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Abdelatty expressed appreciation for Nigeria's support of El-Anany's candidacy during the 47th session of the African Union Executive Council, calling it a vote of confidence in the Egyptian nominee's qualifications and capacity to represent Africa at the UN cultural agency. Development aid and regional issues Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's continued support for Nigerian institutions through the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development (EAPD), noting that over 570 Nigerians have participated in 260 training programmes offered in cooperation with Egyptian institutions. The two ministers also exchanged views on regional issues, particularly developments in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. Discussions focused on efforts to stabilize West Africa and strengthen joint African action within the African Union framework, in light of growing security threats across the continent. For his part, Onyeama praised Egypt's regional leadership, particularly its efforts in reconstruction, development, and integration. He expressed Nigeria's interest in drawing on Egyptian expertise in infrastructure, technical education, healthcare, and modern agriculture. The ministers concluded by affirming their commitment to closer coordination within international and regional organizations and mutual support for international nominations. During his visit, Abdelatty is scheduled to meet senior Nigerian officials, regional bloc representatives, members of the business community, and Egyptian expatriates. His African tour will continue with visits to Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and Senegal. It follows Egypt's active participation in the African Union Executive Council's 47th Ordinary Session, where President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and Abdelatty held multiple meetings with African leaders and officials.

Palestine requests extraordinary session of Arab League Council Tuesday - War on Gaza
In a statement, Al-Aklouk said the request comes in response to the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians are facing starvation, a siege, and the systematic killing of civilians lured to inhumane aid distribution points. He stressed that Israel's deliberate weaponization of starvation against the Palestinian people is a tool of genocide. He noted that approximately 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for food at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution sites. He stated that these aid sites are a new method of killing Palestinians under a false humanitarian cover. Al-Aklouk added that the call for the urgent session also stems from the continued targeting of Islamic and Christian holy sites by the occupying state. This includes a recent move to strip Hebron Municipality of its authority over the Ibrahimi Mosque and surrounding areas, transferring control instead to the so-called 'Religious Council' of Israeli settlements in the city. He warned that this constitutes an attempt to alter the historical, legal, and religious status of the site, to fully Judaize it—calling it a dangerous precedent and a flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions, including those of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The ambassador also condemned the targeting of the historic Latin Monastery Church in Gaza, one of the world's oldest churches, which currently houses hundreds of displaced civilians, calling the attack a crime and a clear violation of international humanitarian law. According to Al-Aklouk, Palestine's request for the emergency session aims to initiate coordinated political, legal, and diplomatic action at the Arab and international levels to address these grave and unprecedented violations.

Palestine Calls for Emergency Arab League Session to Address Israeli Aggression
Mohamed Mandour The State of Palestine has formally requested an emergency session of the Arab League Council at the level of permanent representatives, scheduled for Tuesday, to discuss political, legal, and diplomatic measures in response to what it described as 'unprecedented and dangerous Israeli aggression' in the occupied Palestinian territories. Palestine's Permanent Representative to the Arab League, Ambassador Muhannad Al-Aklouk, said Monday that the urgent request comes amid what he called catastrophic conditions in Gaza, including a deadly blockade and widespread starvation. Al-Aklouk accused Israel of systematically using hunger as a weapon of genocide, deliberately targeting starving civilians gathering at aid distribution points. 'Nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for food for their children and families,' he said, describing the situation as a deliberate attempt to impose famine under the guise of humanitarian assistance. 'What is being offered in the name of relief is being weaponized against the Palestinian people under a false humanitarian cover.' The session aims to coordinate a unified Arab stance and explore concrete steps to address the worsening humanitarian crisis and escalate efforts at the international level. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
