Turkish Ambassador Meets Gaza Orphan, Plans Support Initiatives
Turkish Ambassador to Egypt Salih Mutlu Şen met with Mahmoud, an orphan from Gaza, and his uncle Mohamed at the ambassador's residence for a casual conversation.
The ambassador noted that Mahmoud was unable to attend the solidarity event organized with the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation as he was in Saudi Arabia at the time. 'We fulfilled our duty, albeit a bit late,' the ambassador stated.
He added that there are ideas under consideration to provide psychiatric support for the family members.
In early September, the ambassador will meet with orphans and vulnerable children to explore opportunities for educational and social support.

Egypt Condemns ‘Greater Israel' Rhetoric, Reaffirms Commitment to Peace in Middle East
Taarek Refaat The Arab Republic of Egypt has reiterated its firm commitment to establishing peace in the Middle East, expressing strong condemnation of recent rhetoric in some Israeli media outlets concerning the concept of a so-called "Greater Israel." Cairo described such discourse as provocative and destabilizing, warning that it undermines regional peace efforts and reflects an insistence on escalation rather than dialogue. In a statement issued Wednesday by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt called on Israeli authorities to clarify these reports, which it said are inconsistent with international aspirations for peace and security in the region. 'Such narratives only serve to fuel instability and contradict the shared goals of regional and international actors who are committed to peace and the pursuit of a political resolution,' the statement read. Egypt emphasized that lasting peace cannot be achieved without a return to negotiations and a comprehensive political solution to the ongoing conflict. It reiterated its position that the only viable path forward is the two-state solution, involving the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The statement also called for an immediate end to the ongoing war in Gaza, stressing that continued military escalation only deepens the humanitarian crisis and further distances the region from a sustainable peace. 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

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.
