Inter Milan Shift Transfer Focus from Lookman to Roma's Kone
Rana Atef It was reported that Inter Milan may change the focus of their transfer from Atalanta's Ademola Lookman to Roma midfielder Manu Koné. According to Sky Sport Italia, citing FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are now waiting for a green light from owners Oaktree Capital before making a move. The 24-year-old France international emerged as a surprise candidate for Inter's midfield rebuild. The club views him as an ideal fit for the holding role, particularly in a double-pivot system—something that current options like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are less naturally suited to. Roma, for their part, are reportedly open to listening to offers for the player, which has prompted Inter to sense a potential opportunity. This change in direction comes after frustration in negotiations for Lookman. Inter had identified the Nigerian international as a priority attacking reinforcement this summer, but their bid was turned down by Atalanta. With talks stalling, the club has opted to reallocate those funds toward strengthening the midfield instead. Lookman's situation has been one of the more high-profile stories of the Italian transfer window. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest 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 News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Egypt prepares for Gaza's transitional phase, proposing a temporary administration
Egypt is preparing for the transitional period that is expected to begin following a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, including the issue of a temporary administration for the besieged territory. These preparations are happening as discussions continue in Cairo. An informed Egyptian source confirmed that Major General Hassan Rashad, head of the General Intelligence Service, met with a Hamas delegation to discuss ways to advance truce negotiations. The source told Al-Qahera News that during the meeting, Hamas expressed its eagerness to quickly return to ceasefire negotiations and praised Egypt's efforts to deliver aid to Gaza and its residents. The source noted that Egypt is intensifying its contacts with all parties to achieve a de-escalation, paving the way for an end to the war. Meanwhile, Arab news reports have referenced a comprehensive Egyptian ceasefire proposal expected to take effect by the end of the current month. Egypt believes there is a limited window of opportunity to reach an agreement. According to Al-Masry Al-Youm, informed sources said that Cairo has invited Palestinian factions and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to discuss the comprehensive deal and the names proposed to lead the temporary administration. According to the sources, Cairo supports the Palestinian figures being put forward for the task of a temporary administration during the transitional phase. The agreement, to be implemented in two phases, includes: Ending the war and ensuring the return of all captives. Establishing a temporary administration for the Gaza Strip led by international and Arab forces. A commitment from Hamas to a long-term ceasefire and a freeze on all activities of its military wing during the transitional period. Hamas ceasing the manufacturing and smuggling of weapons into Gaza, while committing to a framework for the future of Gaza's weapons. NGOs raise alarm over new Israeli rules for Gaza aid More than 100 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) expressed their concern in a joint letter published Thursday over new Israeli rules regulating the work of foreign aid groups. These rules are reportedly being used to reject requests to bring supplies into the Gaza Strip. According to the letter, which was signed by organizations like Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders, at least 60 requests for aid to Gaza were rejected in July alone. Israeli authorities have stated that these organizations are not authorized to deliver aid. Last March, the Israeli government approved new rules for foreign NGOs working with Palestinians. These rules include provisions that allow for the rejection of requests or the cancellation of an organization's registration, particularly if it is deemed to 'deny the democratic character of Israel or promote campaigns to delegitimize the country.' Gaza's humanitarian crisis deepens On the ground, the Gaza Ministry of Health has announced four deaths from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of victims of the famine to 239, including 106 children. Medical sources in the Strip's hospitals reported 16 deaths from Israeli airstrikes that targeted various areas since Thursday morning. Five of the victims were people who were waiting for aid. For the past four days, Israeli forces have continued concentrated bombing operations in the southern neighborhoods of Gaza City, particularly in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, which is the largest district by area and the second largest by population. The spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, stated that Israeli forces have destroyed approximately 300 buildings in the neighborhood over the past three days. Dozens of casualties have not been reached because ambulances and civil defense vehicles are being prevented from entering the area. Israel's long-term operation In a separate development, Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, Eyal Zamir, has approved the core concept for the occupation of Gaza City in the northern Strip. Discussions on the plan are expected to continue over the next two weeks. Zamir noted that it would be impossible to implement this plan without mobilizing reserve soldiers, with the pace of advancement expected to be slow, lasting at least several months. According to the preliminary framework, the comprehensive operation would require the mobilization of between 80,000 and 100,000 reserve soldiers as part of the 'Eighth Army.' The maneuvers in Gaza and the northern Strip are expected to continue into 2026. Separately, the head of the American humanitarian organization ANERA told Arab media that the Israeli army is creating obstacles to the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, making it more difficult to provide support to affected civilians.
