Egypt urges halt to Israeli violations in Lebanon, enforcement of UN Resolution 1701 - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has called for an end to Israeli violations in Lebanon and the full, non-selective implementation of United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 1701. In a phone call on Tuesday with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Abdelatty stressed the importance of halting external interference in Lebanese affairs, ceasing Israeli aggressions, respecting Lebanon's sovereignty and airspace, releasing Lebanese detainees, and securing Israel's withdrawal from the five occupied Lebanese points in line with international legitimacy. According to a Foreign Ministry statement, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's longstanding support for Lebanon across regional and international forums. He highlighted Egypt's ongoing contacts with relevant parties, stressing Cairo's backing for strengthening Lebanese national institutions to better serve the Lebanese people. The Egyptian minister also conveyed President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi's greetings to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Salam, reiterating Egypt's solidarity with their efforts to uphold the authority of the state and preserve national unity and stability. The call also reviewed preparations for convening the Egyptian–Lebanese Joint Higher Committee at the level of the two prime ministers. The committee is tasked with boosting bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and reconstruction, as well as enhancing coordination on issues of shared concern. For his part, Salam expressed appreciation for President El-Sisi's supportive positions toward Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity, while voicing eagerness to deepen economic and trade ties and advance reconstruction programmes. Regional context The Egyptian–Lebanese discussions came a day after US envoy Tom Barrack urged Israel to honour its commitments under the ceasefire that ended its 2006 war with Hezbollah. Barrack, visiting Beirut, said Washington is in talks with Israel to clarify its position. His visit followed a recent Lebanese cabinet decision instructing the army to draw up a plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year — a step without precedent since Lebanon's post-civil war disarmament of militias.

19th Egyptian aid convoy heads to Gaza - Foreign Affairs
Egypt dispatched its 19th humanitarian convoy to Gaza on Wednesday morning through the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, as part of the Zad El-Ezza: From Egypt to Gaza initiative launched by the Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) on 27 July. The convoy carried food, relief, and medical supplies as the Israeli-manufactured famine conditions worsened across the strip, where starvation-related deaths have climbed to 266, including 112 children. Humanitarian access through Rafah has been blocked since Israel seized the Palestinian side of the crossing on 7 May 2024, forcing aid to be rerouted via the Israeli-controlled Karm Abu Salem terminal. Despite Egypt's dispatch of 18 convoys since late July, thousands of trucks remain stranded on the Egyptian side awaiting Israeli "inspection and clearance." More than 5,000 trucks are reportedly stuck at Rafah alone. Since October 2023, Egypt has facilitated over 70 percent of the aid that entered Gaza: 45,125 trucks carrying 500,000 tonnes of supplies. Of these, Egypt provided 368,000 tonnes, and other countries provided 132,000 tonnes. Despite this record, Cairo has faced accusations of blocking aid. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty rejected such claims in a Monday interview with CNN anchor Becky Anderson, calling them 'a big lie' and stressing that Israel alone is obstructing aid flows. He said Israel has destroyed the Palestinian Rafah terminal four times and that its forces are 'physically there, preventing any truck or person from moving in.' On Sunday, the Foreign Ministry reiterated Egypt's rejection of any attempt to displace Palestinians from Gaza or the occupied West Bank — whether by force or, in its words, 'through policies of starvation, land confiscation, settlement expansion and rendering life untenable.' Since the outbreak of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Israel has killed over 62,000 Palestinians in the strip, the majority being women and children.

Iran says will deploy new missiles if Israel attacks again - Region
Iran said Wednesday it was prepared for any new Israeli attack, announcing it has developed missiles with greater capabilities than those used during their recent 12-day war. "The missiles used in the 12-day war were manufactured... a few years ago," Defence Minister Aziz Nassirzadeh said, quoted by the official IRNA news agency. "Today, we have manufactured and possess missiles with far greater capabilities than previous missiles, and if the Zionist enemy embarks on the adventure again, we will undoubtedly use them." In mid-June, Israel launched a bombing campaign against Iran, triggering a war in which Iran responded with missile and drone strikes. The Israeli offensive killed senior military commanders, nuclear scientists and hundreds of others, striking both military sites and residential areas. The United States briefly joined the war with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has been in place since June 24. Iranian officials have since warned that another round of fighting could erupt at any moment, emphasising that Tehran does not seek war but remains prepared for any confrontation. On Monday, First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Iran should be "prepared at every moment for confrontation". "We are not even in a ceasefire; we are in a cessation of hostilities," he added. Iranian media reported that the army is to begin a two-day military exercise on Thursday, featuring a wide range of short and medium-range cruise missiles. Western governments have repeatedly voiced concern about Iran's missile programme, calling it a threat to regional security. In July, France called for a "comprehensive deal" with Tehran that covers not only its nuclear programme but also its missile programme and its regional ambitions. Iran has insisted that its military capabilities are not up for negotiation. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
