Calls to cancel Rock band Scorpions' concert in Egypt over supporting Israel
As soon as the upcoming concert was announced, a large number of social media users called for its cancellation due to the band's support for Israel and the raising of the Israeli flag at its concerts.
Social media users called on the head of the Musicians Syndicate, Mostafa Kamel, to intervene and cancel the concert.
They launched a hashtag called #cancelscorpions, sharing photos of the band waving the Israeli flag at concerts.
The Scorpions are a German rock band founded in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker. The band's longest-running and most successful lineup included vocalists Schenker and Klaus Meine, guitarists Matthias Jabs and Francis Buchholz, and bassist Hermann Rarebel.
This is the band's second visit to the country, following their first to Egypt in 2005, when they held two concerts at the foot of the Pyramids, organized by the German Embassy in Cairo and Culture Ministry, and in Sharm el-Sheikh on November 17th and 19th.

Your Guide to Planning a Fun and Budget-Friendly Vacation
Pasant Elzaitony With rising travel and accommodation costs, planning a summer getaway may seem expensive—but with a little smart preparation, you can enjoy a memorable vacation without overspending. Here are key tips to help you plan a summer filled with joy, relaxation, and savings. 1. Plan Early Booking your flights and accommodation in advance allows you to take advantage of early-bird discounts and promotional offers. 2. Explore Alternative Destinations Instead of heading to the most popular (and pricey) tourist spots, consider less-crowded, underrated destinations that offer equally beautiful experiences at a fraction of the cost. 3. Try Local Travel or Eco-Tourism Domestic destinations or nature-based travel such as camping can be refreshing, affordable alternatives to international trips. 4. Pre-Plan Your Meals Eating out at tourist-heavy restaurants can drain your budget. Opt for accommodations with kitchen access or enjoy affordable local street food for an authentic and economical dining experience. 5. Take Advantage of Free Events Check local calendars for open-air concerts, cultural festivals, or free museum days that can enrich your trip without extra cost. 6. Use Smart Apps From budget-friendly accommodation to finding cheap transport options, travel apps can help you save time and money. 7. Pack Light Avoid paying for excess baggage by traveling light and packing only the essentials. In Summary: A great summer holiday doesn't require a big budget—just smart planning and thoughtful choices. Whether you're heading to the beach, the mountains, or exploring your own city, memorable experiences await those who travel wisely. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

4 Killed in Bangkok Food Market Shooting
Israa Farhan A deadly shooting at a popular food market in Bangkok left four security guards dead and one person injured on Monday, according to Thai police. The incident occurred at the Or Tor Kor market near the busy Chatuchak area, which is frequently crowded, especially on weekends. Police say the gunman opened fire before taking his own life. Deputy Chief of Bang Sue Police, Worapat Sookthai, confirmed the fatalities and stated that the motive is still under investigation. Authorities are working to identify the shooter and determine whether there is any link between the attack and ongoing border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. Thailand has seen some gun-related incidents in recent years, largely due to relatively easy access to firearms across the country. While mass shootings are not a daily occurrence, they are not uncommon in Thailand's urban centers. Police have cordoned off the area and launched a full investigation into the background and potential motivations of the suspect. 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 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia 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 Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
