Egypt FM holds talks with UK, Iran, and IAEA on Tehran nuclear programme - Foreign Affairs
Abdelatty explored ways to resume negotiations between Iran, the IAEA, and the E3 group, which comprises the UK, France, and Germany.
These negotiations would help restore diplomatic momentum and address concerns related to Iran's nuclear programme, especially with the anticipated activation of the UN sanctions mechanism on Iran by the end of August, as recently announced by the E3 group.
During the calls, Abdelatty emphasised the need to sustain the Iran-Israel ceasefire, ensure that hostilities do not resume, and support a political and peaceful path forward.
According to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty's intensive communications also addressed the ongoing de-escalation efforts to reduce regional tensions.
During his call with his British counterpart, the Egyptian Foreign Minister addressed ways to develop and strengthen bilateral ties, particularly in trade, investment, and tourism.
On the other hand, Abdelatty and the IAEA chief focused on enhancing cooperation between Egypt and the agency in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Throughout April and May, the US and Iran held several rounds of negotiations over Tehran's nuclear programme before the Israeli strikes on Iran began in June.
On 2 July, Araghchi, whose country insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, said in TV remarks that 'the doors of diplomacy will never slam shut.'
Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA on the same day.

Chaos at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport amid Unofficial Ground Staff Strike
Taarek Refaat Israel's main international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport, descended into disorder Friday morning as numerous flights were delayed due to what has been described as an unofficial strike by ground services personnel. The disruption has sparked widespread confusion and frustration among travelers, particularly at the height of the busy summer travel season. According to reports by Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, passengers were informed by pilots that the delays were caused by a so-called "Italian strike", a form of protest where employees perform only the bare minimum required by their contracts. In this case, baggage was deliberately left unloaded, delaying aircraft departures. Despite mounting reports of disruption, the Israel Airports Authority denied the existence of any official labor strike. In a brief statement, it attributed the delays to "heavy traffic congestion" within the airport but provided no further details. However, Israel's Channel 12 quoted internal airport sources confirming a 'crippling crisis' triggered by protest actions from disgruntled ground staff. These employees are reportedly demanding better wages and immediate recruitment to address severe staffing shortages, issues exacerbated by the surge in air travel during the peak summer period. Ben Gurion Airport, the country's primary air travel hub, has long operated under heightened security constraints. That backdrop has intensified concerns, with aviation analysts warning that even minor logistical disruptions could have outsized ripple effects on flight schedules and traveler safety. Officials fear that unless the demands of airport workers are addressed promptly, the crisis could escalate. Dozens of flights have already been affected, with delays expected to continue into Friday evening. Passengers are advised to check their flight statuses before heading to the airport and to prepare for potential schedule changes. The Israeli aviation industry has only recently rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. The emerging labor unrest now poses a significant threat to the stability of air operations during what is traditionally one of the busiest travel periods of the year. 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 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Egypt's "National Alliance" Reaffirms Readiness to Resume Gaza Aid Convoys
Taarek Refaat Egypt's National Alliance for Civil Development Work announced on Friday that its member organizations are fully prepared to resume humanitarian convoys to the Gaza Strip as soon as border crossings reopen, reaffirming their long-standing commitment to supporting Palestinians amid ongoing humanitarian hardship. In an official statement, the Alliance highlighted its unwavering support for Gaza since the onset of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023. Since then, the Alliance has played a central role in organizing Egypt's civil society response, launching multiple large-scale convoys loaded with food, medical supplies, and shelter materials. 'From the very first day, our institutions stood in solidarity with the people of Gaza,' the Alliance stated. 'The convoys reflected the deep-rooted bond between the Egyptian and Palestinian peoples.' According to the Alliance, it has spearheaded one of the largest humanitarian operations conducted by Egyptian civil society, dispatching ten major convoys comprising 3,127 trucks and delivering over 63,000 tons of aid to the besieged enclave. The initial convoy alone, launched shortly after the outbreak of violence in October 2023, included 108 trailers packed with urgent humanitarian relief. Daily efforts have since continued with an average of 50 trucks per day transporting food, medicine, and emergency supplies to civilians in dire need. The Alliance credited its operational success to the collective efforts of its member institutions and close coordination with the Egyptian Red Crescent, which plays a vital role in facilitating the delivery of aid through Egypt's Rafah crossing into Gaza. Looking ahead, the National Alliance pledged to continue mobilizing resources and expanding relief efforts, emphasizing its readiness to act the moment access is restored. 'We are committed to sustaining our response,' the statement read. 'Every effort will be made to ensure aid reaches those who need it most, as swiftly and efficiently as possible.' The Gaza Strip remains under severe humanitarian strain, with infrastructure decimated and access to basic services critically limited. Aid organizations have warned that any prolonged disruption in relief delivery could worsen already catastrophic conditions. Egypt's civil society response, led by the Alliance, is widely seen as a vital lifeline for the more than two million residents of the blockaded territory. With border access still restricted, the resumption of aid convoys remains contingent on political and logistical developments in the coming days. 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 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Real Madrid's Contract Talks with Vinícius Jr. Hit New Stalemate
Rana Atef On Friday, media reports provided a new update about the situation of Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid, as the negotiations between both sides are still in progress. Earlier in the summer, it was reported that Vinicius has a verbal agreement with Los Blancos over a new deal which is expected to be a long-term one. However, a recent report from Cadena SER has highlighted that there are several disagreements between Real Madrid and Vinicius. As per the report, Vinicius' key demand was to be equated with Kylian Mbappe in terms of salary, which is rejected by the club. Real Madrid's refusal caused a stalemate in negotiations, as the club didn't plan to offer Vinicius such a huge salary. If no agreement is reached between the two clubs this summer, Real Madrid could be open to selling the Brazilian international, especially with Saudi Arabia proposing an offer worth €200 million. 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 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
