Israa Farhan
The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter and owned by Elon Musk, experienced a major worldwide outage on Saturday, affecting tens of thousands of users across multiple countries.
Reports of the outage surged rapidly, according to Downdetector, a service that monitors online platform disruptions. In the United States alone, over 25,000 users reported being unable to access the platform properly.
Many users
faced
difficulties loading new posts and navigating the app due to persistent error messages.
This marks the second significant technical failure for X in 2025. A previous outage in March caused a temporary shutdown of user interactions and messaging features, raising ongoing concerns about the platform's technical stability.
The outage occurred at a crucial time for the company. Since Elon Musk acquired the platform in October 2022 for $44 billion, X has undergone massive changes, including a reduction of nearly 80 percent of its workforce.
The sharp downsizing has raised questions about the platform's ability to maintain reliable service levels.

Austria Launches Major Green Hydrogen Project
Israa Farhan Austria is set to become a key player in Europe's green energy transition with the announcement of a major hydrogen initiative by OMV, the country's leading oil and gas group. The company has unveiled plans to construct one of the largest green hydrogen electrolysis plants in Europe, aiming for an annual production capacity of 23,000 tonnes. The facility will be located in Bruck an der Leitha, in Austria's Burgenland state, and will be powered by renewable wind energy with an installed capacity of 140 megawatts. The project marks a significant step in Austria's broader strategy to achieve climate neutrality and cut carbon emissions. OMV, which is partially owned by the Austrian state, is positioning this project as a cornerstone of its commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The company's CEO, Alfred Stern, described the green hydrogen strategy as a milestone in OMV's decarbonisation roadmap, emphasising the plant's pivotal role in transitioning from grey to green hydrogen. As Europe intensifies efforts to move away from fossil fuels, this large-scale investment signals Austria's determination to secure a leadership role in sustainable energy production. The green hydrogen generated by the plant will support clean industrial processes and contribute to a more resilient, low-carbon energy system across the continent. 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 Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Israel Plans to Build 22 New Settlements in West Bank
Israa Farhan Israel has declared its intention to build 22 new settlements across the occupied West Bank, including the formal approval of previously unauthorized outposts. The decision was announced Thursday and is seen as a major expansion of Israeli presence in the territory captured during the 1967 war. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the move strengthens Israel's control over the area, referring to it by its biblical names, Judea and Samaria. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also confirmed the plan, saying it would enhance Israel's hold on the eastern front, boost national security, and prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. The newly announced settlements will span the north, center, and south of the West Bank, including four positioned near the Jordanian border. Some of the areas to be rebuilt include former settlements like Homesh and Sa-Nur, which were evacuated in 2005 during Israel's disengagement from Gaza. The Israeli government, considered the most hardline in its history, says the plan is a strategic response to Palestinian attacks and a fulfilment of what it views as a historic right to the land. Palestinian groups, including Hamas, condemned the move, calling it a direct attempt to Judaize Palestinian land and a breach of international law. Human rights groups argue that this step further entrenches the occupation and eliminates prospects for a future Palestinian state. Over 500,000 settlers currently live in the West Bank among nearly 3 million Palestinians, under Israeli military control. The decision comes just ahead of a planned international conference aimed at reviving the two-state solution. 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 Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
