Egypt, Jordan sign 10 cooperation agreements - Foreign Affairs
The Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee concluded its 33rd session in Amman on Tuesday with the signing of 10 cooperation documents and memoranda of understanding in fields that serve to enhance bilateral cooperation between Egypt and Jordan. Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and his Jordanian counterpart, Jaafar Hassan, presided over the session, which was attended by a host of ministers representing both countries. The signed agreements include cooperation in investment, consumer protection, local development, cultural heritage protection, planning, youth, and government procurement. They also involve executive programmes for coordination in religious affairs, tourism and antiquities, and high-level financial dialogue, as well as initiatives to advance joint projects in line with the two countries' economic priorities. During the session, Madbouly affirmed that Cairo seeks to bolster cooperation with Jordan in many essential fields, including electrical interconnection, which would benefit several countries in the region. He also expressed Egypt's readiness to support joint investments and praised the scale of Jordanian investments in Egypt. Both prime ministers highlighted promising opportunities in trade, transport, and tourism, signalling the importance of activating cooperation with Iraq within the 'Egyptian-Jordanian-Iraqi' trilateral cooperation mechanism. For his part, Hassan expressed Jordan's interest in drawing on Egypt's expertise in building an administrative city, referencing Egypt's New Administrative Capital project. In response, PM Madbouly affirmed his eagerness to cooperate with Jordan on this matter. The Jordanian premier also affirmed that the measures the Jordanian government is undertaking to regularize and rectify labour status are never meant to reduce Egyptian labour.

The Elders group of global leaders warns of Gaza genocide - War on Gaza
The Elders group of international stateswomen and statesmen, for the first time on Tuesday, called the situation in Gaza an unfolding genocide, saying that Israel's obstruction of aid was causing a famine. "Today we express our shock and outrage at Israel's deliberate obstruction of the entry of life-saving humanitarian aid into Gaza," the non-governmental group of public figures, founded by former South Africa president Nelson Mandela in 2007, said in a statement after delegates visited border crossings in Egypt. "What we saw and heard underlines our personal conviction that there is not only an unfolding, human-caused famine in Gaza. There is an unfolding genocide," it added. Helen Clark, former prime minister of New Zealand, called on Israel to open the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza so aid could be delivered, after visiting the site. "Many new mothers are unable to feed themselves or their newborn babies adequately, and the health system is collapsing," she said. "All of this threatens the very survival of an entire generation." Clark was joined by Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, on the visit. She said that international leaders "have the power and the legal obligation to apply measures to pressure this Israeli government to end its atrocity crimes". Call for ceasefire, hostage release The delegation "saw evidence of food and medical aid denied entry, and heard witness accounts of the killing of Palestinian civilians, including children, while trying to access aid inside Gaza," said the statement. They pushed for a ceasefire and for the immediate release of remaining Israeli captives being held in Gaza. The London-based group also called for the "recognition of the State of Palestine", but added "this will not halt the unfolding genocide and famine in Gaza". "Transfers of arms and weapons components to Israel must be suspended immediately," it added, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be sanctioned. Israel has faced mounting criticism over the 22-month-long war on Gaza, with United Nations-backed experts warning of widespread famine unfolding in besieged Gaza. Netanyahu is under mounting pressure to secure the release of the remaining captives, as well as over his plans to expand the war, which he has vowed to do with or without the backing of Israel's allies. Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 61,499 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Egypt's Grand Mufti Urges Global Action to End Gaza Bloodshed, Calls for Mercy for the Vulnerable
Mohamed Mandour Egypt's Grand Mufti Dr. Nazir Mohamed Ayyad delivered an impassioned appeal Monday at the opening of the 10th International Fatwa Conference, urging the world to 'have mercy on the vulnerable people of Gaza' and to end what he described as the unjust and aggressive shedding of Palestinian blood. 'From this platform, we extend a heartfelt appeal to all people of conscience in both East and West,' the Grand Mufti said, calling for a genuine humanitarian stand to halt the violence. 'We cry out to what remains of human decency in this harsh world—where tyranny prevails and the logic of power has overshadowed the values of justice and mercy.' He warned that those responsible for the destruction of homes and the displacement of Gaza's children, women, and elderly would face divine justice. He praised Palestinians for remaining steadfast in their land, holding firmly to their dignity and truth, and expressed confidence in an inevitable victory despite delays. The Grand Mufti also criticized what he called the painful irony of the 21st century, in which the world boasts of technological revolutions and human rights, while in Gaza, 'the most abhorrent forms of persecution and aggression are perpetrated.' 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 Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
