‘Progressive white saviours' come from Europe to tell Egypt how to run their country
Sky News host James Morrow brutally slams Global March to Gaza, a group of "white saviours" who flew into Egypt with the hope of marching into Gaza but were met with resistance from both locals and authorities.
"You know, this really just feels like a progressive version of European colonialism, with the great white saviours coming down from Europe to tell the Egyptians how to run their country and their border," Mr Morrow said
"But our European friends wound up on the pointy end of decolonisation as the Egyptians told them to, quite rightly; what's the saying? Go back where you came from."

Israel's El Al cancels flights to and from Europe
Israel's El Al Airlines has cancelled flights to and from many European cities as well as Tokyo and Moscow due to Israel's conflict with Iran. The Israeli flag carrier said all flights have been cancelled up to and including Tuesday, with Israel's airspace still closed. "Once approvals are received from the relevant security and aviation authorities, we will do everything possible to allow as many Israelis as possible to return home, gradually resume our regular flight schedule and operate rescue flights from destinations near Israel," El Al said. Israel's National Security Council cautioned against travel to Israel through Egypt and Jordan despite their borders being open. "We would like to emphasise that both Sinai (in Egypt) and Jordan are under Level 4 travel warnings - indicating a high threat level - and we recommend avoiding travel to these areas," the council said. "These warnings are especially relevant during this time of heightened tension. "For Israelis currently abroad and waiting to return to the country, we recommend waiting for updates on the matter from the Ministry of Transportation." El Al shares were down 3.5 per cent in afternoon trade in Tel Aviv. El Al has been one of the only carriers operating into Tel Aviv since October 7, 2023, after many foreign airlines cancelled flights because of the Israel-Gaza conflict. A number of carriers recently resumed flights to Israel before the missile attack exchanges between Israel and Iran at the weekend.
