Egypt puts military on high alert and tests air defence systems amid rising regional tensions
Egypt has put its armed forces on high alert and carried out nationwide drills of its air defence systems as fears grow of a broader Iran-Israel conflict, sources told The National. Egypt 's top government officials are holding emergency meetings to decide on measures to ensure that the import-dependent nation of 106 million maintains adequate reserves of food, fuel and other essential commodities. The goal is to mitigate potential disruptions to global supply chains triggered by escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Egypt shares a border with Israel along the eastern edge of its Sinai peninsula. The most populous Arab nation has, on several occasions since the Gaza war erupted in 2023, seen projectiles fired by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen veering off course and landing on Egyptian territory. These incidents caused material damage but no fatalities. The sources said that while the Egyptian military's combat units have been put on high alert nationwide, those deployed in the Sinai Peninsula were ordered to go on maximum alert. The orders went out shortly after Israel's latest round of hostilities with Iran began on Friday, when Israel's first wave of strikes killed senior Iranian military leaders and damaged nuclear and military infrastructure. Iran has responded with barrages of missiles and drones fired on Israel, killing three people and injuring scores, as both adversaries vowed more attacks. The sources said the testing of Egypt's air defence systems involved nearly all of the nation's 27 provinces. "The exercise was designed to see if there are any gaps in the nationwide coverage by the air defences," said one source. The source did not say what exactly was involved in the drills, but spoke of how they left "debris" on the ground across much of the nation. The higher state of alert and the air defence drills come at a time when Cairo's relations with Israel are at their lowest point because of the Gaza war, now in its 21st month, while relations with Iran are rapidly improving. Relations worsened significantly in May 2024 when Israeli forces seized the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing and a narrow buffer zone running the length of the Gaza-Egypt frontier. Egypt is closely monitoring the potential consequences of further escalation, according to the sources, particularly the risk of Iran retaliating by closing the Strait of Hormuz or Bab Al-Mandab – both critical maritime chokepoints. The closure of either would effectively block access to the Suez Canal, a vital source of foreign currency for Egypt, and threaten the country's fuel supplies and oil-based imports. A government statement said Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has discussed ways to increase the nation's "strategic reserves" of a range of goods with central bank governor Hassan Abdullah and Finance Minister Ahmed Kajouk. Mr Madbouly held a separate meeting on Friday night with the ministers of oil and electricity to discuss the "ramifications of the military events in the region", the statement said, without providing further detail. Israel has already suspended natural gas exports to Egypt due to the tenuous security situation arising from its conflict with Iran, according to media reports. The move could disrupt power generation in Egypt, where gas-fuelled stations supply much of the country's electricity. With summer temperatures already climbing, Egypt is bracing for a surge in energy demand. Rolling power cuts as recently as 2023 produced a popular backlash in Egypt, including a level of potentially disruptive popular discontent not seen since President Abdel Fattah El Sisi took office in 2014. Egypt's atomic agency on Saturday sought to reassure Egyptians on the possibility of radiation leaks from Iranian nuclear facilities damaged by Israeli air strikes. "There are no indications of a change or a rise in radiation levels," it said in a statement. "We are monitoring round-the-clock the developments related to the situation at nuclear facilities in the region." Surrounded by regional crises Egypt has for years faced challenges from regional conflicts: Libya's civil war since 2011; Sudan's collapse into fighting in April 2023, which has sent 1.5 million refugees across Egypt's southern border; and the continuing war in Gaza. Now, Egypt must prepare for handling a possible fallout from the tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Iran, all while facing a sensitive domestic situation. Authorities are trying to prevent hundreds of foreign pro-Palestinian activists from marching towards Rafah, on the Gaza border, in a show of solidarity with Palestinians. The government has stated that such actions require prior official authorisation. Security officials said around 200 activists have already been detained and deported upon arrival at Cairo airport. Another 74 activists have been detained just outside the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, where a standoff continued Saturday between riot police and scores of activists prevented from proceeding east towards Rafah.

Can employer in UAE deny annual leave? Here's what the law says
Question: I am planning to take a vacation this summer, but my boss is rejecting my leave request, as others on the team have already booked the dates. However, I would like to take my leave and travel. Is this for employers who reject leave applications? Answer: It is assumed that the mainland company you are employed with is employing more than 50 employees. In the UAE, it is at the discretion of an employer to determine the annual leave dates of its employees based on operational requirements or in mutual agreement with the employees. An employer must inform an employee of their annual leave dates (start date and end date) at least one month before the annual leave commences. This is by Article 29 (4) of Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Employment Relations, which states, 'The employee shall use his leave in the year of entitlement. The employer may fix the dates of leave according to the work requirements and in agreement with the employee, or rotate leaves among employees for the smooth progress of work, and shall notify the employee of the date of his leave at least (1) one month before the same.' Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Furthermore, an employer may not prevent an employee from availing of annual leave that has been carried over for more than two years unless the employee chooses to postpone it or receive a cash allowance instead of the annual leave, according to the HR/internal policies in place at the workplace and applicable regulations. This is by the Article 29 (8) of the UAE Employment Law, 'The employer may not prevent the employee from benefiting from his annual leave accrued for more than two years unless the employee wishes to carry it forward or receive a cash allowance for it, by the regulations in force at the establishment and the Implementing Regulation hereof.' Based on the aforementioned provisions of the UAE Employment Law, your employer may reject a leave request if it overlaps with the pre-approved leave of other employees and affects the smooth functioning of your employer. Therefore, you may discuss the matter with your employer and consider suggesting alternative dates or adjusting the dates of your vacation which are acceptable to your employer.

Trump reports more than $600m in income from crypto, golf, licensing fees
Image: Getty Images Donald Trump reported more than $600m in income from crypto, golf clubs, licensing and other ventures in a public financial disclosure report released on Friday that provided a glimpse of the vast business holdings of America's billionaire president. The annual financial disclosure form, which appeared to cover the 2024 calendar year, shows the president's push into crypto added substantially to his wealth but he also reported large fees from developments and revenues from his other businesses. Overall, the president reported assets worth at least $1.6bn, a Reuters calculation shows. What the financial disclosures reveal While Trump has said he has put his businesses into a trust managed by his children, the disclosures show how income from those sources still ultimately accrue to the president — something that has opened him to accusations of conflicts of interest. Some of his businesses in areas such as crypto, for example, benefit from US policy shifts under him and have become a source of criticism. 'President Trump, Vice President Vance, and senior White House staff have completed required ethics briefings and financial reporting obligations,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an emailed statement to Reuters . 'The Trump Administration is committed to transparency and accessibility for the American people.' The financial disclosure was signed on June 13 and did not state the time period it covered. The details of the cryptocurrency listings, as well as other information in the disclosure, suggest it was through the end of December 2024, which would exclude most of the money raised by the family's cryptocurrency ventures. Given the speed at which the Trump family has made deals during his ascent to the presidency, the filing is already a time capsule of sorts, capturing a period when the family was just starting to get into crypto but was largely still in the world of real estate deals and golf clubs. A meme coin released earlier this year by the president —$TRUMP — alone has earned an estimated $320m in fees, although it's not publicly known how that amount has been divided between a Trump-controlled entity and its partners. In addition to the meme coin fees, the Trump family has raked in more than $400m from World Liberty Financial, a decentralised finance company. The Trump family is involved, also, with a bitcoin mining operation and digital asset exchange-traded funds. In the disclosures, Trump reported $57.35m from token sales at World Liberty. He also reported holding 15.75bn governance tokens in the venture. Trump Media assets The wealth of the Republican businessman-turned-politician ranges from crypto to real estate, and a large part on paper is tied up in his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of social media platform Besides assets and revenues from his business ventures, the president reported at least $12m in income, including through interest and dividends, from passive investments totaling at least $211m, a Reuters calculation shows. His biggest investments were in alternative fund manager Blue Owl Capital Corp and in government bond funds managed by Charles Schwab and Invesco. The disclosure often only gave ranges for the value of his assets and income; Reuters used the lower amount listed, meaning the total value of his assets and income was almost certainly higher. Trump's properties in Florida, other places The disclosure showed income from various assets including Trump's properties in Florida. Trump's three golf-focused resorts in the state — Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach — plus his nearby private members' club at Mar-a-Lago generated at least $217.7m in income, according to the filing. Trump National Doral, the expansive Miami-area golf hub known for its Blue Monster course, was the family's single largest income source at $110.4m. The income figures provided are essentially revenues, not net profits after subtracting costs. The disclosure underlined the global nature of the Trump family business, listing income of $5m in license fees from a development in Vietnam, $10m in development fees from a project in India and almost $16m in licensing fees for a Dubai project. Trump collected royalty money, also, from a variety of deals – $1.3m from the Greenwood Bible (its website describes it as 'the only Bible officially endorsed by Lee Greenwood and President Trump'); $2.8m from Trump Watches, and $2.5m from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances. Trump listed $1.16m in income from his NFTs – digital trading cards in his likeness — while First Lady Melania Trump earned around $216,700 from license fees on her own NFT collection. Read:
