OPEN// Egypt decries Israeli statements on imposing sovereignty over occupied West Bank
In a statement issued Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration reaffirmed Egypt's categorical rejection of these statements, describing them as flagrant violations of international law that seek to entrench the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory and undermine the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip with Al Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) as its capital.
Egypt reaffirmed its rejection of the ongoing and flagrant Israeli violations in the West Bank, including military incursions, arbitrary arrests, and the continued expansion of illegal settlements, which are taking place in parallel with the grave breaches occurring in the Gaza Strip, aimed at dismantling the very foundations of life for the steadfast Palestinian people.
Egypt urged the international community to take immediate and resolute action to halt these flagrant violations against the Palestinian people on their own land, the statement said.
It also stressed the urgent need for concerted international efforts to realize the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, topped by the establishment of an independent state on the entirety of their national territory. (MENA)

Aboul Gheit condemns extremist Israeli statements regarding annexation of the West Bank
Amir haggag Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, condemned statements made by the Israeli Justice Minister calling for the annexation of the West Bank, exploiting the current situation, describing them as dangerous and irresponsible. Jamal Rushdi, the Secretary-General's official spokesman, quoted Aboul Gheit as saying that the statements issued by an official in the occupation government reflect dangerous trends that we are monitoring the intention to achieve. He emphasized that Israel is immersed in perceptions of its power that flout all international laws and even moral norms, and that this arrogant approach will lead to an endless cycle of violence. Aboul Gheit emphasized that the annexation of the occupied West Bank is one of the goals of the extreme right in Israel, and that the international community is required to take a real stand against this dangerous policy, which will inflame the situation in the region. Aboul Gheit stressed that the West Bank is occupied Palestinian territory under international law, UN resolutions, and the positions of countries around the world, and that any talk of annexing it is nothing more than political bullying and an assault on all international values and norms. 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 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

UN: Gangs Control 90% of Haiti's Capital
Israa Farhan The United Nations has confirmed that violent gangs now control around 90% of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, as government authority deteriorates and the humanitarian crisis deepens across the country. According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the gangs are rapidly expanding their presence beyond the capital, reaching previously safe areas in the south and east of the country. The rise in gang-related incidents has destabilized regions that had remained relatively peaceful, including major trade routes and key border crossings such as Belladère and Malpasse. The erosion of state authority is accelerating, with criminal organizations establishing parallel structures to fill the void left by weakened public institutions. These gangs are now controlling vital supply chains, which has led to surging prices for essential goods such as cooking fuel and rice, creating additional strain on vulnerable communities. The UN warned that Port-au-Prince is effectively under siege, with the situation pushing the capital to the brink of total collapse. The lack of a coordinated international response is contributing to the deteriorating security landscape and increasing the risk of complete state failure in the capital. Since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021, Haiti has been without an elected head of state. Gangs, which previously dominated large sections of the capital, have strengthened their hold, exploited the power vacuum and undermining national stability. To support Haiti's overwhelmed security forces, a UN-backed multinational mission led by Kenyan police arrived in the country last year. However, the mission remains under-resourced, with only 405 officers deployed out of the 2,500 initially planned. The shortage of personnel and equipment has hindered efforts to restore order. In February, the UN Secretary-General proposed a support package that included drones, fuel, ground and air transport, and non-lethal equipment. This initiative, aimed at enhancing the mission's capabilities, is still awaiting approval by the UN Security Council. As gang violence continues to surge and state structures disintegrate, the United Nations has renewed calls for urgent international support to prevent a full-scale collapse of governance in Haiti. 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 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 Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
