Egypt, Turkey affirm rejection of Israeli plan to reoccupy Gaza - Foreign Affairs
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and Turkey's foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, reaffirmed Cairo and Ankara's rejection of Israel's plan to reoccupy the Gaza Strip during talks in Cairo on Saturday. Egyptian presidency spokesman Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy stated that the two sides called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza war, the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid to the strip, an exchange of captives and prisoners, and rejection of any displacement of Palestinians from their land. On Friday, Egypt and Turkey issued statements rejecting the Israeli cabinet's decision to expand its 22-month-long genocidal war on Gaza, seize full control of Gaza City and reoccupy the strip. Earlier this week, the Egyptian president said the war on Gaza was no longer about hostages or political aims, but 'a war of starvation, genocide, and an attempt to eliminate the Palestinian cause.' The meeting, which was attended by Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, also covered the situations in Libya, Syria, and Sudan, with El-Sisi outlining Egypt's vision for peace and stability. Both sides stressed respect for sovereignty, the preservation of territorial integrity and the protection of national resources. El-Sisi praised progress in Egyptian-Turkish ties since a February 2024 agreement to upgrade the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meetings to head-of-state level. The two governments agreed to boost economic cooperation towards their goal of $15 billion in bilateral trade, set by El-Sisi and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during talks in Ankara last September.

No new natural gas agreement with Israel, says Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum
The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources said that recent reports regarding the signing of a new gas supply agreement between Egypt and Israel are inaccurate. The ministry stated that this is an amendment to a previous agreement signed in 2019, and not a new deal as claimed. NewMed, a partner in Israel's Leviathan natural gas field, announced the signing of the largest export agreement in Israel's history, providing Egypt with gas worth up to US$35 billion. The Ministry's official spokesperson, Moataz Atef, explained, during a phone call with Sada al-Balad TV channel on Friday that the primary goal of this amendment is to maximize the use of energy sources and diversify them. Amending this agreement with Israel falls under a comprehensive vision aimed at ensuring Egypt's energy security until 2040, he explained, as the state is also working on long-term contracts for strategic guarantee of supply, and the figure being circulated is not final. Atef added that Egypt is striving to become a regional energy hub in the Middle East. Egypt has signed several agreements with various countries such as Cyprus over the past few years, he said, to supply natural gas, achieving the desired balance between domestic consumption and exporting the surplus to foreign markets. Atef emphasized that the state is moving according to a strategic plan to secure its long-term natural gas needs. Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm
