Egypt Backs 25-Nation Call to End Gaza War
Egypt has welcomed a joint statement issued on July 21 by the foreign ministers of 25 countries concerning the ongoing situation in the occupied Palestinian territories. The statement strongly called for an end to Israel's war on the Gaza Strip and condemned Israel's actions that have obstructed the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians.
In an official statement, Egypt expressed full support for the unified stance of the 25 nations, particularly their rejection of proposals to relocate Palestinian civilians to what has been labeled a 'humanitarian city.' Cairo emphasized that any forced displacement of Palestinians constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
Egypt also welcomed the statement's condemnation of Israel's continued settlement expansion in the West Bank and the violent acts committed by Israeli settlers against Palestinian communities.
Reaffirming its long-standing commitment to regional peace, Egypt highlighted its ongoing efforts—alongside Qatar and the United States—to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. It further called on the international community to adopt concrete measures in support of the two-state solution.
The statement underscored the urgent need for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Egypt stressed that this should include formal recognition of the State of Palestine and the revival of a clear and effective political process to secure lasting peace in the Middle East.

Sudan's Amb. Receives LAS Official to Discuss Cooperation
Mohamed Mandour Sudan's Ambassador to the League of Arab States, Lt. Gen. Emad Eddin Mustafa Adawi, met with Ambassador Mohannad Saleh Lajouzi, Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States and Director-General of the Arab Fund for Technical Assistance to African Countries (AFTAC), to discuss enhanced Arab-African cooperation and support for Sudanese professionals. The meeting, held at the newly inaugurated Sudanese Embassy in New Cairo, focused on arrangements for an upcoming training course for Sudanese diplomats residing in Egypt. The initiative is being organized by AFTAC and will take place at the League's General Secretariat headquarters under the supervision of Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit. Ambassador Adawi welcomed the initiative, describing it as a critical step toward building institutional capacity within Sudan's diplomatic corps. He praised AFTAC's ongoing role in technical training, noting previous successful programs that benefited Sudanese medical students, and commended the League's consistent support for Sudan, including high-level visits and educational contributions by the Arab Academy for Science and Technology. Both sides also discussed future initiatives, including plans to offer small-business training for displaced Sudanese women and a potential diplomatic training course in Khartoum, contingent on conditions stabilizing in the country. The visit reflects AFTAC's broader mission to strengthen ties between the Arab world and African nations through capacity-building and technical cooperation. 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Tunisia leader shows Trump adviser images of starving Gaza children - War on Gaza
Tunisian President Kais Saied presented US counterpart Donald Trump's senior Africa adviser with photographs of starving children in Gaza, official video of their meeting posted late Tuesday showed. Saied told US envoy Massad Boulos, who is also the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, that "it is time for all of humanity to wake up and put an end to these crimes against the Palestinian people". "I believe you know these images well," Saied was seen telling the envoy as he showed a photograph of what he described as "a child crying, eating sand in occupied Palestine". Saied showed Boulos several more images, saying that Palestinians in Gaza were subjected to crimes against humanity. Israel is facing mounting international pressure over the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territory, where more than two million people have endured 21 months of devastating war. "It is absolutely unacceptable," Saied was heard saying as Boulos stood silently, occasionally nodding. "It is a crime against all of humanity." More than 100 aid organisations warned on Wednesday that "mass starvation" was spreading across the Gaza Strip and that their own colleagues were suffering acutely from the shortages. The head of Gaza's largest hospital said on Tuesday that 21 children had died from malnutrition and starvation in the Palestinian territory in the previous three days. Following his visit to Tunisia, Boulos flew on to the Libyan capital Tripoli on Wednesday, Tunisian media reported. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

HRW says Houthi cargo ship attacks amount to war crimes - Region
Human Rights Watch on Wednesday condemned Yemen's Houthi group for deadly attacks that sank two commercial vessels this month, calling them violations of the laws of war. The Houthis struck the Magic Seas and Eternity C cargo ships in the Red Sea, part of a campaign against maritime traffic they accuse of having links to Israel, launched over the Gaza war. Fifteen people -- including four confirmed dead -- remain missing after the July 7 attack on the Eternity C. The Yemeni rebels claimed to have "rescued" an unspecified number of crew, whose whereabouts are still unknown. The attacks were "violations of the laws of war amounting to war crimes", Human Rights Watch said in a statement, adding it found "no evidence that the ships were military targets". "They deliberately attacked commercial vessels that could clearly be identified as civilian," the New York-based group said, adding that "detaining rescued crew members is also prohibited". Rebel leader Abdel Malek al-Houthi justified the attacks, saying both ships belonged to companies serving Israeli ports. But HRW said the ships had no connection to Israel and were not heading there. The Magic Seas was en route to Turkey from China carrying fertiliser and steel billets when it was attacked on July 6. The Eternity C was heading to Saudi Arabia from Somalia after delivering humanitarian aid for the United Nations World Food Programme. "The Houthis have sought to justify unlawful attacks by pointing to Israeli violations against Palestinians," said Niku Jafarnia, HRW's Yemen and Bahrain researcher. "The Houthis should end all attacks on ships not taking part in the conflict and immediately release the crew members in their custody," she added. Since November 2023, the rebels have carried out more than 100 attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to the Joint Maritime Information Centre, run by a Western naval coalition. HRW said it had previously found those actions to be war crimes. It also warned of environmental risks, citing findings by Wim Zwijnenburg of Dutch peace organisation PAX. Zwijnenburg said satellite imagery showed large oil slicks trailing from the sites where both vessels sank, threatening wildlife in a protected nature reserve off Eritrea's coast. Oil was also reportedly washing ashore near a fishing community, he was quoted as saying. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
