Syria Fires First Rockets at Golan Since Al-Sharaa's Rise
By Ahmad El-Assasy In a significant escalation, rockets were launched from Syria into the occupied Golan Heights on Monday, marking the first such attack since Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa assumed power. According to Cairo News, this is the first incident of cross-border fire from Syria since Al-Sharaa took office, highlighting a potential shift in the security dynamics along the Israeli-Syrian frontier. Israeli media outlets confirmed that two rockets landed in an open area in the southern part of the Golan Heights. No casualties or damages were reported. In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they are targeting the launch sites in Syria. The military stressed it would continue to act against any threats originating from across the border. The source of the rocket fire remains unclear, but Israeli analysts are monitoring the situation closely for signs of a broader confrontation or message from Damascus under its new leadership. The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions and increasing concerns over the militarization of Syria's border zones. 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 Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer 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

President Sisi Participates in Meeting ahead of Int. Conference for Financing for Development
CAIRO - 3 June 2025: Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi participated via video conference in the high-level meeting in preparation for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, scheduled to be held in Spain at the end of June 2025. The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, said the high-level meeting aims to give political momentum for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, a major international event aimed at mobilizing funding and encouraging investment in projects that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing international cooperation in the field of financing for development, and bridging the growing development gap. President Sisi delivered a speech, during which he reviewed the pillars of Egypt's vision for enhancing international efforts to finance development. In his speech, President Sisi outlined Egypt's vision for advancing international efforts to finance development. He thanked UN Secretary-General António Guterres for his invitation to attend the meeting, which is being held to mobilize political support and build momentum ahead of the conference scheduled from June 30 to July 3, 2025. Sisi also expressed his appreciation to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for Spain's efforts in hosting the event, praising the Spanish government's preparations and close coordination with the UN Secretariat. The president noted that the FfD4 is being held at a time of serious global challenges, including rising geopolitical and security tensions, an increase in unilateral and protectionist measures, setbacks in achieving the SDGs, a widening financing gap, and the escalating consequences of climate change. He added that shifts in global trade patterns are further disrupting the world economy, with significant negative impacts on developing nations. Sisi said that the global community agreed in 2015 on the SDGs as a comprehensive framework to improve the well-being and future of people worldwide. However, he warned that the dangerous expansion of the development and financing gap in recent years could put the 2030 targets out of reach unless immediate and effective action is taken. He called for the conference to produce ambitious and tangible outcomes that reflect a shared political will to accelerate progress on the SDGs. The president outlined four key issues Egypt hopes will see progress during the conference. First, he called for the development of a roadmap to enhance access to affordable and concessional financing for developing countries. Achieving this, he said, requires addressing existing structural imbalances in the global financial system and strengthening cooperation with development partners. He added that Egypt hopes the conference will lead to practical steps to continue reforming the international financial architecture and institutions, improve existing financing mechanisms, and introduce new and innovative tools such as debt swaps. He also called for comprehensive frameworks to stimulate private sector investment and link implementation of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda with the SDGs. Second, Sisi stressed the need to raise ambition in reforming the global debt structure, with specific, actionable steps to address the growing problem of sovereign debt in developing countries. He called for new mechanisms to sustainably manage debt in low- and middle-income countries, which are home to nearly two-thirds of the world's poor. Failure to deliver tangible outcomes in this area, he warned, could lead to a new global debt crisis and further widen the development gap. On the third issue, Sisi highlighted the importance of providing necessary technical support and building institutional and human capacities in developing countries. This includes facilitating the transfer of technology and encouraging the use of modern digital tools, such as artificial intelligence, to help those countries make optimal use of their national resources and support their development efforts. In conclusion, President Sisi emphasized that the success of the FfD4 will depend on the level of ambition reflected in its final outcome document and the inclusion of serious and well-considered measures. He underscored the need for strong political will and a spirit of solidarity and multilateral cooperation to reach fair and practical agreements on unresolved issues, in order to accelerate progress on sustainable development and meet the aspirations of people around the world for a better, more prosperous future.
