Belarus Sees Egypt as Trusted Partner and Gateway to Africa
Belarusian Ambassador to Egypt, Sergey Terentiev, has underlined the strength of political dialogue between Minsk and Cairo, which he described as the foundation of bilateral relations. This is reported by
TV BRICS.
Terentiev said that recent meetings, including those between the Igor Sergeyenko, Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus and Egyptian officials during his visit to Cairo in May, have opened new avenues for strengthening ties. He described Egypt as a promising economic partner and a gateway to Africa for Belarusian companies.
He emphasised country's readiness to share technology to support Egypt's needs, including in agricultural digitalisation, medical equipment supply and joint research. Belarus is also keen to provide modern, high-tech medical services to Egyptian citizens through advanced facilities and skilled healthcare professionals, alongside joint medical production projects.
On education, Terentiev welcomed Egyptian medical students to pursue advanced training at Belarusian universities, which he said would enhance educational exchange and support the development of future medical professionals for both countries.
The ambassador highlighted the strategic partnership's potential to open new markets for Egyptian businesses in Belarus and the Eurasian Economic Union. He underlined Belarus's interest in working with Egypt to boost pharmaceutical manufacturing and ensure high-quality medicines for both peoples.
In agriculture, he said both sides are exploring ways to enhance productivity, sustainability and water management through joint research, technology transfer and initiatives addressing climate change, water scarcity and food security.
Regarding tourism, Terentiev noted that Egypt remains a popular and trusted destination for Belarusian tourists. Around 100,000 Belarusians visit Egypt each year, with direct flights to Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada and Alamein helping to sustain these numbers.

Gaza Sees Nearly One Hundred Killed, Hundreds Injured in 48 Hours
H-Tayea The Ministry of Health in Gaza has confirmed that 98 Palestinians have been killed and 511 others injured by Israeli gunfire within the last 48 hours, marking one of the deadliest short periods in the ongoing war. Among the dead are individuals who were only recently recovered from beneath the rubble, highlighting the continued difficulty of rescue efforts. Since the beginning of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, Gaza's total death toll has now surged to 58,765, with 140,485 people injured. The Ministry warned that these numbers may still rise, as many victims remain under collapsed buildings or lying in open streets, unreachable by medical or civil defense teams due to the intensity of the bombardment and lack of access. From March 18, 2025, until today, the ministry reported 7,938 new deaths and 28,444 injuries, pointing to a particularly violent and destructive phase of the conflict. The ministry also reported disturbing figures about Palestinians who were killed while simply trying to secure basic necessities. In the last two days alone, 14 people were killed and more than 94 injured while attempting to collect humanitarian aid. This brings the total number of people killed while seeking food or assistance to 891, with over 5,754 others injured in similar incidents since the start of the war. 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 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

US envoy Huckabee calls for accountability after Israeli settlers attack church in West Bank village - War on Gaza
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Saturday visited a Christian village in the occupied West Bank and urged accountability for an arson attack by Israeli settlers on an ancient church. In early July, Israeli settlers carried out an arson attack on the village of Taybeh in the area of the ruins of the Byzantine-era Church of Saint George, which dates back to the fifth century. The attack came as violence against Palestinians soars in the West Bank, and last week saw an American-Palestinian killed by Israeli settlers near Ramallah. Ambassador Huckabee, an evangelical Christian and staunch advocate for Israel, said his trip to Taybeh aimed to "express solidarity with the people who just want to live their lives in peace, to be able to go to their own land, to be able to go to their place of worship". "It doesn't matter whether it's a mosque, a church, a synagogue," he told journalists. "It's unacceptable to commit an act of sacrilege by desecrating a place that is supposed to be a place of worship." "We will certainly insist that those who carry out acts of terror and violence in Taybeh or anywhere be found, be prosecuted, not just reprimanded. That's not enough," he said. "People need to pay a price for doing something that destroys that which belongs not just to other people, but that which belongs to God." The rare condemnation came days after an Israeli air strike targeted the Holy Family Church in northern Gaza, killing two people and wounding several others, including a parish priest, Gaza civil defence, and church officials said on Thursday. In the villages and communities around Taybeh, Palestinian authorities reported that settlers had killed three people and damaged or destroyed multiple water sources in the past two weeks alone. Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967, and violence has surged in the territory since Israel's war on the Gaza Strip began in October 2023. Since then, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 957 Palestinians, including civilians, in the West Bank, according to health ministry figures. Over the same period, at least 36 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, according to official figures. Huckabee, a longtime outspoken supporter of Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories -- considered illegal under international law -- on Tuesday demanded an aggressive investigation and accountability after Israeli settlers beat a Palestinian-American to death in the West Bank. It was a sign of rare public pressure against US ally Israel by President Donald Trump's administration. *This story was edited by Ahram Online. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
