Egypt's 9th Think Commercial real estate roundtable set for Sept. 8
The ninth edition of the Think Commercial real estate roundtable will be held on Sept. 8 to discuss the latest developments in the Egyptian property market, its organisers said. The event, organised by conference company Media Avenue, will take place at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Cairo under the theme 'The Real Estate Industry Leads Investment and Export.' Discussions will focus on opportunities for real estate expansion in regional and global markets, modern real estate investment tools such as property funds and participatory financing, and the utilisation of old government headquarters and the development of the downtown Cairo area. The roundtable will also address advanced financing mechanisms as a key element for overcoming economic challenges, including government facilities, lower interest rates, and the activation of tools like real estate financing and institutional investment. The event will feature two sessions: the first will discuss opportunities for real-estate expansion, while the second will review modern real estate investment tools. Participants will include government officials from the Ministry of Housing and the Financial Regulatory Authority, members of parliament, and representatives from business organisations. Leaders from major real estate development and finance companies, as well as firms specialising in participatory financing, asset management, and the establishment of real estate funds, are also expected to attend.

Arab, global backlash follows Netanyahu's ‘Greater Israel' remarks amid escalating Gaza war
Arab and international condemnation intensified on Wednesday over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks linking himself to what he called the 'Greater Israel vision,' as fighting in Gaza escalated and the death toll continued to rise amid warnings of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced Netanyahu's comments as a 'dangerous provocative escalation,' a threat to state sovereignty, and a violation of international law and the UN Charter. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufian Qudah dismissed the remarks as 'futile illusions' that would not undermine Jordan or other Arab states, saying they reflected 'the embattled state of the Israeli government and its international isolation' amid the war on Gaza and the occupied West Bank. He urged urgent international action to stop such incitement, which he warned threatened regional security. According to The Times of Israel, Netanyahu—wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges—told an interviewer he saw himself on a 'historic and spiritual mission' encompassing territory earmarked for a future Palestinian state as well as parts of Jordan and Egypt. In Cairo, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan reiterated their 'absolute rejection' of an Israeli ministerial decision to plan for the occupation of Gaza. In a phone call, the two described the move as an attempt to 'entrench illegal occupation' and perpetuate a 'genocidal war' in violation of international humanitarian law. Abdelatty said Egypt was working with Qatar and the United States to broker a deal for detainee and prisoner exchanges, a ceasefire, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. On the ground, Gaza's Health Ministry reported 123 deaths and 437 injuries in the past 24 hours, bringing the toll since fighting resumed on March 18 to more than 10,200. Since the war began on October 7, 2023, over 61,700 Palestinians have been killed and 154,500 wounded. The ministry also reported eight new famine-related deaths—including three children—in the past day, bringing the total from hunger and malnutrition to 235, including 106 children. Palestinian media said seven people were killed and 20 wounded when Israeli aircraft targeted aid security personnel in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, the Associated Press cited sources claiming Israel was in talks with South Sudan to take in Palestinians from Gaza as part of a broader Israeli-U.S. displacement plan. The South Sudanese government denied the report as baseless. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon sharply criticised Netanyahu, saying he had 'lost his mind' and condemning annexation, forced displacement, and the Gaza blockade as 'utterly appalling' and 'completely unacceptable.' Abdelatty's remarks that nothing precluded the deployment of international forces in Gaza—echoed by French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal for a UN-mandated coalition—rekindled debate over postwar governance of the enclave, including a possible Palestinian Authority return and prospects for a broader political settlement. Meanwhile, a Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials on the war and developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli Channel 12 reported that Tel Aviv was considering sending a senior delegation to Doha later this week to negotiate a comprehensive agreement covering all issues, rather than a partial deal.

Egypt's FM discusses Gaza, bilateral ties in calls with Saudi, South African counterparts
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed the war in Gaza and bilateral relations in separate phone calls with his Saudi and South African counterparts this week, his ministry said. In a call on Wednesday with South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola, Abdelatty discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations, particularly in light of South Africa's presidency of the G20, the ministry said in a statement. Abdelatty conveyed greetings from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, and expressed Egypt's pride in its historical ties with the country. He noted Egypt's readiness to cooperate with South Africa on development projects, given the extensive experience of Egyptian companies. On water security, Abdelatty stressed the need to adhere to international law regarding shared water resources and rejected 'unilateral actions' in the eastern Nile Basin. The two ministers also discussed regional and international political and security developments, including the situation in Gaza and efforts to reach a ceasefire, as well as developments in Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and the Horn of Africa. In a separate call on Tuesday evening, Abdelatty and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farah discussed the 'catastrophic' situation in the Gaza Strip. The two ministers affirmed their 'joint and categorical rejection' of the Israeli cabinet's decision to develop a plan to occupy the Gaza Strip and expand its aggression, the Egyptian statement said. They described the plan as an attempt to 'entrench the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, continue the war of extermination against the unarmed Palestinian people, and undermine their right to self-determination.' Abdelatty briefed his Saudi counterpart on Egypt's ongoing efforts with Qatar and the United States to reach a deal that would secure the release of hostages and a number of Palestinian prisoners, and ensure the full and unconditional delivery of aid. The two ministers agreed on the need for an immediate ceasefire, the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian and medical aid, and an immediate end to the 'policy of starvation and systematic killing.' They also stressed the need to protect civilians and enable the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. The call also covered the overall regional situation, with the two ministers exchanging views on how to deal with the current challenges and crises in Sudan, Syria, and Lebanon.
