CAIRO – 23 March 2025: The Israeli army issued an order on Sunday for the immediate and full evacuation of the Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah, southern Gaza, designating the area as a 'dangerous combat zone.'
Israeli forces have resumed attacks on Gaza since last week, breaking a ceasefire that had allowed for the release of dozens of captives taken by Hamas during the 7 October 2023 attacks.
Extensive airstrikes have targeted several parts of the enclave and ground operations have been renewed, resulting in over 600 fatalities among Gazans. The US has expressed 'full support for Israel and the Israeli army in the actions they've taken in recent days.'
The Israeli army instructed residents of Tal Al-Sultan to walk to the so-called 'humanitarian area' in Al-Mawasi, according to the Palestinian News and Info Agency (WAFA).
Al-Mawasi has experienced mass killings of civilians by the Israeli army over the course of the war besides lacking essential infrastructure, including water, leading to the spread of diseases.
Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, Israel has repeatedly evacuated residents from various areas and also launched assaults without warnings, killing nearly 50,000 fatalities, most of whom are women and children, and forcing most of the population to leave their homes.

Rwanda Withdraws from ECCAS over Blocked Leadership Transfer
Israa Farhan Rwanda has officially withdrawn from the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) after the regional bloc refused to grant it the rotating presidency, in breach of its charter. The decision was announced in a statement published by *The New Times* and marks a significant diplomatic shift in Central African regional politics. According to the Rwandan government, the refusal to transfer leadership as scheduled violates the foundational agreements of ECCAS. Kigali declared that it no longer sees value in remaining part of a body that operates contrary to its governing principles. The dispute escalated after ECCAS members voted to extend Equatorial Guinea's presidency for an additional year, despite the standard rotation that would have seen Rwanda assume leadership. The move was reportedly supported by Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with the DRC accusing Rwanda of backing rebel groups in its eastern provinces. In response, Rwanda has also submitted a formal complaint to the African Union, condemning what it described as illegal actions by ECCAS. Established in 1983 and based in Libreville, Gabon, ECCAS comprises Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Rwanda's withdrawal marks a rare departure from a major African regional bloc and underscores deepening tensions in Central Africa. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Over 300,000 Protesters in Rome Demand End to Gaza Massacre
Israa Farhan More than 300,000 people took to the streets of Rome on Saturday to demand an immediate end to what demonstrators described as a massacre in Gaza, marking one of the largest protests in Italy in recent years. The mass rally, organized by a coalition of left- and right-wing opposition parties, was a powerful show of solidarity with the Palestinian people. According to Italian news agency Nova, the demonstration was supported by the Democratic Party (Centre-left), the Five Star Movement (right-wing populist), and the Green Left Alliance. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and peace banners while chanting calls such as Stop the massacre and No more complicity. Italian political leaders addressing the crowd called for an immediate end to what they labelled crimes against Palestinian civilians. They denounced the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government. Criticism was also directed at Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for her government's silence on the situation. Opposition figures urged Meloni to recognize the State of Palestine, asserting that Palestinians deserve the same right to peace and sovereignty as Israelis. Giuseppe Conte, head of the Five Star Movement and Italy's former prime minister, condemned the government's position, calling it a national disgrace. He accused Italy of passively allowing the destruction of Gaza, highlighting the deaths of over 60,000 Palestinians, including 16,000 children, and the destruction of schools, hospitals, and homes. Conte labelled the crisis a genocide and firmly rejected claims of antisemitism, stating that criticizing Netanyahu's government is not equivalent to hatred against Jews. Leaders of the Green Alliance echoed this sentiment, condemning the supply of arms to Israel. Nicola Fratoianni, a senior member of the alliance, criticized Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini for travelling to Tel Aviv and shaking hands with Netanyahu, calling the gesture shameful. Fratoianni demanded that Italy and the European Union take concrete action by recognizing Palestinian statehood, suspending the EU-Israel agreement, halting arms deals, and imposing sanctions. He stressed the need to stop what he called an ongoing genocide, forced displacement, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Pakistan Appeals for International Intervention to Curb Indian Escalation
Israa Farhan Pakistan has called on global powers to intervene and help resolve key issues with India amid ongoing tensions between the two neighbours. This appeal came from a senior Pakistani delegation that arrived in London on Sunday to present Islamabad's position. Earlier this month, Pakistan launched an extensive lobbying campaign in the United States to share its perspective on the recent conflict with India and counter increasing influence from pro-New Delhi lobbying groups. As part of its global diplomatic effort, the delegation will also visit Brussels, according to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper. The high-profile delegation includes former Foreign Ministers Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Hina Rabbani Khar, Khurram Dastgir, alongside Senators Sherry Rehman, Musadik Malik, Faisal Subzwari, and Bushra Anjum Butt. Senior envoys Jaleel Abbas Gilani and Tahmina Janjua are also part of the group. Khurram Dastgir told Pakistan's Geo News after arriving in the UK that the delegation faced resistance due to a belief among some Americans that further intervention was unnecessary following former US President Donald Trump's mediation of a ceasefire. He stressed the mission's goal was to make it clear that ongoing international involvement remains crucial. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
