Egypt values President Trump's seriousness in resolving conflicts and ending wars: El-Sisi - Foreign Affairs

Al-Ahram Weekly15-07-2025
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi stated on Tuesday that "Egypt values the recent statement by President Donald Trump, which demonstrates the seriousness of the US in exerting efforts to resolve conflicts and end wars."
In a post on his official Facebook page, President El-Sisi added: "Egypt reaffirms its confidence in President Trump's ability to address complex challenges and to advance peace, stability, and security across the globe, whether in Ukraine, the Palestinian territory, or Africa."
The Egyptian president added that "Egypt also appreciates President Trump's keenness on reaching a just agreement that safeguards the interests of all parties regarding the Ethiopian Dam, as well as his recognition of the Nile as a source of life for Egypt."
On Monday, following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in a rapid resolution to the decade-old dispute over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).
'I think if I am Egypt, I want to have water in the Nile, and we are working on that,' Trump said.
He described the dam as 'closing up water going to the Nile,' which Egypt depends on for 97 percent of its water.
Trump added, 'I think the United States funded the dam. I do not know why they didn't solve the problem before they built the dam. But it is nice when the Nile River has water.'
Calling the Nile 'a very important source of income and life,' Trump said, 'to take that away is pretty incredible. But we think we are going to have that solved very quickly.'
For nearly a decade, downstream Nile countries Egypt and Sudan have called on Ethiopia to sign a legally binding agreement regarding the filling and operation of the GERD to safeguard their water rights, but to no avail.
Cairo has repeatedly called on the international community, including the US, to pressure Ethiopia to abstain from unilateral actions on the GERD and respect the country's water shares in the Nile River.
As for Gaza, on Sunday, President Donald Trump told reporters that he hopes to see progress in the next week in ceasefire talks, which are being mediated by the US, Egypt, and Qatar in Doha.
"Gaza -- we are talking and hopefully we're going to get that straightened out over the next week," Trump said, echoing similarly optimistic comments he made on 4 July.
Over the past 18 months, Egypt has long called on the US and Western powers to pressure Tel Aviv to end its genocidal war on the Strip.
In conclusion, President El-Sisi posted: "Egypt reaffirms its support for President Trump's vision of establishing just peace, security, and stability for all countries in the region and around the world."

Kremlin does not rule out Putin-Trump meeting in China in September - War in Ukraine

The Kremlin on Monday said it was not ruling out a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in September in China. Putin is due to visit China in early September for celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. "If it so happens that in the end the US president decides to visit China during those days, then of course such a meeting cannot in theory be excluded," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters including AFP at a briefing. Chinese troops will parade through Beijing's Tiananmen Square alongside aircraft flypasts and high-tech weaponry to mark the anniversary on September 3, Chinese officials said last month. Millions of Chinese people were killed during a prolonged war with imperial Japan in the 1930s and 40s, which merged with the global conflagration following Tokyo's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war ended with Japan's surrender. Beijing's Communist Party has held a series of blockbuster events in recent years to commemorate its wartime resistance, vowing that China will never be brought to its knees in such a way again. The Kremlin has confirmed Putin will attend the celebrations and Chinese officials said other world leaders are also expected. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Russian Scientists Discover Ancient Whale Remains Beneath Retreating Glacier

Nada Mustafa Russian scientists from the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) have uncovered a significant concentration of ancient whale remains on Wilczek Island, part of the Franz Josef Land archipelago, according to TV BRICS. The discovery was made amid research on permafrost dynamics and glacial retreat, as reported by the official website of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation. According to AARI researcher Nikita Demidov, satellite image analysis and on-site measurements showed that the island's glacial dome split into two sections in under 20 years, exposing several square kilometres of marine terrace. This newly revealed area contains numerous well-preserved whale skeletons, some partially thawing at the glacier's edge. The concentration and condition of the remains suggest a rapid sea level change episode in the high Arctic within the past few thousand years. The degree of preservation reportedly increases with proximity to the glacier, indicating long-term entrapment in permafrost conditions. These findings offer critical insights into the palaeoecology and climatic history of Eurasia's northernmost archipelago, the source claims. 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 Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
