German Airports See 16% Drop in Passenger Numbers
Israa Farhan Passenger traffic through German airports rose by 2.8% in the first half of this year, yet the commercial aviation sector in Germany continues to face significant challenges, according to the German Aviation Association. Data shows that German airports handled a total of 99.4 million passengers between January and June 2025. However, this figure remains around 16% below the pre-pandemic levels recorded in 2019. In the same period last year, passenger numbers had increased by 10%. The German Aviation Association highlighted that Germany is lagging behind other European countries, attributing this to high taxes and airport fees. As a result, airlines are withdrawing aircraft from German airports and deploying them to more cost-competitive locations in other European countries. Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet have removed roughly one in three aircraft that were previously based in Germany since 2019. Out of 190 planes in their German fleets, only 130 remain stationed in the country. Industry leaders warn that this trend is not only reducing Germany's international connectivity but is also causing economic losses worth billions. Each medium-haul aircraft supports about 170 jobs and contributes approximately 70 million euros to the nation's gross domestic product. To align with more competitive European markets, the association has called for government passenger fees, currently around 35 euros per traveler, to be cut by half. It also noted that a previously planned aviation tax reduction for 2026, which was later scrapped, would have sent a strong signal to the airline industry. 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

Indonesia Plans Sovereign Fund to Boost AI Ambitions
Israa Farhan Indonesia is set to establish a sovereign artificial intelligence fund to support its ambitions of becoming a leading regional hub for this rapidly evolving technology, according to an official government document. The plan is part of the country's first national AI roadmap, which aims to attract foreign investment and strengthen Indonesia's position in the global AI and semiconductor race. The initiative follows significant progress by neighboring Malaysia, which has secured billions of dollars from global technology companies to build vital infrastructure for cloud computing and AI services. The Indonesian strategy, detailed in a 179-page white paper, recommends creating a sovereign AI fund to be managed primarily by the country's newly established sovereign wealth fund, Danantara Indonesia, which oversees assets exceeding 900 billion US dollars. Although the document does not specify the amount required, it outlines a timeline for launching the fund between 2027 and 2029. The roadmap also addresses key challenges facing Indonesia, including a shortage of skilled professionals, limited research funding, and other barriers to AI development. Major technology companies such as Nvidia and Microsoft have already expressed interest in Indonesia's AI ambitions, signaling the potential for significant international collaboration and investment in the coming years. 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

Six journalists killed in Israeli strike on Gaza as international condemnation intensifies
Six journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqaa, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital, on the 675th day of the ongoing conflict. The attack also claimed the life of cameraman Mohammed Al-Khaldi and three other journalists. The Israeli army acknowledged targeting Al-Sharif. This incident brings the total number of journalists killed in Gaza since the start of the war to 238, according to the Government Media Office. The death toll from the war, which began on October 7, 2023, continues to rise. In the last 24 hours, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported 69 Palestinians killed and 362 wounded, raising the total number of deaths to 61,499, with 153,575 injured. Since the resumption of hostilities on March 18, 989 Palestinians have lost their lives, with 41,534 wounded. The killing of journalists in Gaza has drawn widespread international condemnation. The Egyptian Journalists Syndicate called the attack a 'heinous crime' and an 'assassination of the world's conscience.' The UN Human Rights Office described the targeting of journalists as a 'grave violation of international humanitarian law' and called for greater protection for civilians and journalists in the region. The EU's humanitarian commissioner also denounced the strike as a violation of press freedom. In addition to the attacks on journalists, political tensions have escalated following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement of plans to occupy Gaza City. The Arab League condemned the move as a 'blatant act of aggression,' warning that it threatens Arab national security. The UN Security Council expressed concern that the occupation could exacerbate the conflict and ignite even further tragedy. French President Emmanuel Macron labeled Netanyahu's plan a 'guaranteed disaster,' which he argued would harm both Israeli hostages and Gaza's civilian population. Macron called for an international coalition under a UN mandate to combat terrorism and stabilize Gaza. In Rome, Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto accused Israel of losing 'reason and humanity' in its actions, hinting at potential sanctions. He compared Netanyahu's methods to those of Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging the international community to take concrete measures to force a change in course. In Washington, Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Israel's current policies, calling the country a 'quasi-pariah state.' He accused Netanyahu's government of waging war against all Palestinians, even as it retained the right to respond to Hamas's attacks. As Israeli airstrikes continue, the Izz al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, claimed responsibility for hitting an Israeli command and control site near Tel Al-Zaarab in southern Rafah. On the diplomatic front, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's rejection of Israel's military expansion in Gaza. During a call with his German counterpart, Abdelatty warned of the severe consequences of further escalation and urged the EU to act swiftly. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul commended Egypt's efforts to secure a ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, while acknowledging the grave risks posed by an expanded Israeli military operation. As the bombardment continues and the death toll climbs, international warnings are intensifying that the deepening occupation will only worsen Gaza's humanitarian crisis and prolong the war. The international community's failure to enforce a lasting ceasefire or protect civilians remains a critical concern, with calls for a more robust intervention growing louder.
