Gaza under Israeli aggression - file
CAIRO - 19 May 2025: A correspondent at Al-Qahera News TV Channel reported Monday that more than 20 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since dawn.
The Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18, following a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on January 19.
However, the Israeli Occupation has violated the terms of the ceasefire over the past two months, continuing its bombing of various areas in the Gaza Strip, causing casualties and injuries.
The Israeli Occupation has also refused to implement the humanitarian protocol, tightening its stifling blockade on the Strip, which is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian tragedy.

Russian Embassy in Cairo urges caution for tourists in Sharm El Sheikh
The Russian Embassy in Cairo is urging Russian tourists holidaying in Sharm El Sheikh to exercise extreme caution following an Israeli attack on Iran. In a statement posted on its Telegram channel on Friday, the Embassy asked Russian citizens planning to travel to the area to assess the associated risks. 'Russian citizens in Sharm El Sheikh and its vicinity,' the statement read, 'given that the distance to the border with Israel is 190 kilometers, and some Egyptian population centers are even closer, we ask you to exercise greater caution in light of the Israeli missile attack on Iran launched on June 13, and the anticipated retaliatory measures.' The Embassy added, 'We suggest that Russian citizens planning to travel to Sharm El Sheikh closely monitor the situation in the region and evaluate the risks arising in territories near Israel.' Earlier Friday, Israel announced it had launched a 'precise and integrated preemptive strike to hit Iran's nuclear program, based on qualitative intelligence, and in response to ongoing aggression from Iran against Israel.'

Global March to Gaza activists report delays, deportations at Cairo Airport
Organizers of the Global March to Gaza announced Thursday that approximately 170 activists slated to participate 'faced delays and deportations at Cairo Airport in Egypt.' The movement, which states its aim is to 'break the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip,' released an online statement saying, 'approximately 170 people are facing delays and deportations at Cairo Airport,' and that the movement's legal team is addressing the issues. 'We have all complied with all legal requirements of the Egyptian authorities,' the statement asserted. CNN reached out to the Egyptian Foreign Media Press Center and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for comment on these claims. In a video shared by the march's Canadian delegation with CNN, a significant number of Egyptian police officers were visible on the tarmac as Canadian activists disembarked the plane. One man was seen exiting the aircraft holding a scarf bearing the Palestinian flag. In another video filmed inside the plane, activists could be heard chanting 'Free Palestine.' Organizers anticipate around 4,000 volunteers from 80 countries will join the march from Cairo to the Rafah crossing this week. This comes as Israel's war on Gaza enters its 21st month, and aid restrictions push the Strip to the brink of famine. Despite border complexities, the movement's organizers expressed a desire to cooperate with Egypt, reaffirming their commitment to the march. 'We want to clarify that the Global March is ongoing, and thousands of march participants are already in Egypt, ready to begin the journey to Al-Arish on Friday, and then continue walking to Rafah, where we hope to arrive on Sunday,' the statement read. 'We hope to be able to work hand-in-hand with the Egyptian government as a key and valuable partner,' the statement added. Among the march participants are Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, a former South African Member of Parliament and grandson of Nelson Mandela, and Hala Rharrit, a former U.S. State Department diplomat who resigned from her government position during the Biden administration due to Washington's handling of the Gaza war. Organizers of the 'Global March to Gaza' confirmed they had contacted Egyptian authorities, informed them of their plans, and requested cooperation and protection, but had not received any response. Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement that activists intending to visit its territory, particularly the Gaza border area, must secure prior permits before arriving in Cairo. Egypt emphasized the critical need to adhere to these established regulatory procedures, asserting their vital role in ensuring the safety of visiting delegations due to the sensitive security situation in the border region since the onset of the Gaza crisis. The Ministry further clarified that 'no requests, invitations, or corresponding responses will be considered if submitted outside the stipulated regulatory framework.' The organizers of the planned demonstrations, for their part, affirmed their commitment to complying with 'all the required procedures detailed in this statement.' Activists informed CNN on Wednesday that some participants faced difficulties and questioning upon their arrival in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, expressing fears of deportation. Meanwhile, in a statement issued Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he expects the Egyptian government to 'prevent jihadist protesters from reaching the Egyptian-Israeli border, and not allow them to carry out provocations and attempt to enter Gaza.' Katz added that such actions 'would endanger the security of Israeli soldiers, and we will not permit that.'

Egypt condemns Israeli strikes on Iran, warns of dangerous regional escalation
Egypt has strongly condemned the military attacks launched by the Israeli army on Iran early Friday. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in an official statement, described these actions as a blatant and highly dangerous regional escalation, a flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter, and a direct threat to regional and international peace and security. Egypt expressed deep concern over the rapid current developments, denouncing this unjustified act. The Ministry warned that such actions will further ignite the crisis, potentially leading to a wider regional conflict with unprecedented consequences for the security and stability of the entire region. It emphasized that these actions expose the resources of the region's peoples to grave danger and threaten to plunge the entire area into widespread chaos. Egypt reiterated its firm belief that there are no military solutions to the crises facing the region, but rather only political and peaceful resolutions. The statement underscored that 'the arrogance of power' will not achieve security for any nation in the region, including Israel. True security, Egypt affirmed, can only be attained through respecting the sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity of states, achieving justice, and ending the Israeli occupation of Arab territories.
