Amazon Halts Shipping to Israel Amid Ongoing Airspace Closure
Rana Atef Amazon, the American e-commerce giant, has announced the suspension of new orders and deliveries to Israel, due to the country's continued airspace closure following the outbreak of conflict with Iran on June 13. In an official statement to Israeli consumers, the company said: 'Due to local restrictions beyond our control, we are currently unable to accept new orders or deliver to your area. We will resume our services as soon as conditions allow.' Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv has remained largely closed to both commercial flights and cargo shipments since the escalation began, causing major disruptions to travel and trade. In recent days, Israeli airlines were permitted to operate limited daily flights to repatriate citizens stranded abroad and assist those looking to leave the country. This comes as Israel begins preparations to gradually resume airport operations, following the ceasefire agreement with Iran that came into effect earlier this morning. Full restoration of air services will depend on approval from the country's defense establishment. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall 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 Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Olympique Lyonnais relegated to Ligue 2 due to accumulated debts
Amir Hagag The French Football Federation, in cooperation with the financial oversight body, announced the relegation of Olympique Lyonnais to Ligue 2 due to the club's worsening financial crisis. The decision comes after the club's debts exceeded €500 million, posing a real threat to its financial stability and continental participation. Lyon's management had been given a deadline at the beginning of the current season to provide evidence of a partial settlement of these debts, but the documents submitted were insufficient to convince the regulatory body. Although the club has the right to appeal the decision, its current position is officially in Ligue 2, a significant blow to its history and standing in French football. Earlier last December, UEFA provisionally banned Lyon from participating in the Europa League due to its 2024 financial statements failing to meet the continuity criteria. The sanction was later lifted after auditors narrowly approved the accounts, but UEFA has kept the club under close scrutiny. Lyon finished last season in the French league in sixth place, with 57 points, achieving 17 wins and six draws. The club is considered one of the most prestigious teams in France, having won the French league title seven times and the French Cup five times. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall 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 Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
