Japanese Tea Master Sen Genshitsu Dies at 102
Rana Atef The Urasenke School of Tea in Japan announced the death of Dr. Sen Genshitsu, one of the world's most influential tea masters and a global peace ambassador, at the age of 102. Born in Kyoto in 1923, Genshitsu was a direct descendant of Sen no Rikyū, the historic founder of Japan's tea tradition. After World War II, he devoted his life to spreading the message 'peace through a bowl of tea,' traveling to more than 60 countries and performing ceremonies for leaders including Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, and U.S. President George W. Bush. He served as Grand Master of Urasenke from 1964 until 2002, later becoming a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and advisor to Japan's Foreign Ministry. His honors included Japan's Order of Culture (1997) and France's Legion of Honor (2020). Today, Urasenke has 167 branches in Japan and many more abroad, preserving the legacy of a man who turned tea into a universal language of peace. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

Muslim Council of Elders Condemns Israeli PM's ‘Greater Israel' Remarks, Urges Global Action for Palestine
Mohamed Mandour The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, strongly condemned remarks by the Israeli prime minister promoting what he called a 'Greater Israel vision.' The council denounced the statement as a manifestation of colonial ambitions that it said pose a serious threat to regional and global peace and stability. In a statement, the Abu Dhabi–based body urged the international community to 'urgently fulfill its responsibilities' to halt violations against the Palestinian people, end their decades-long suffering, and uphold their right to establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. The council said the Palestinian issue has been marked by 'over 70 years of injustice' and warned that continued inaction would fuel further instability across the Middle East. 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 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video 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 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
