The United States officially announces its withdrawal from UNESCO
Amir Hagag The US State Department announced on Tuesday the official withdrawal of the United States from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a move that reflects escalating political tensions between Washington and international organizations. This is not the first time the United States has withdrawn from the organization. It previously withdrew in the 1980s, then returned later, and withdrew again in 2018 before temporarily resuming its participation. This new move comes amid ongoing US criticism of the organization's management and issues related to representation and voting. 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 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 Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Amnesty urges probe into Israeli strike on Tehran prison - Region
Amnesty International on Tuesday called for a war crimes investigation into Israel's deadly air attack on Tehran's Evin prison during last month's 12-day war. The strike, confirmed by Israel, killed 79 people, according to a provisional tally by Iranian authorities. It also destroyed part of the administrative building in Evin, a large, heavily fortified complex in the north of Tehran, which rights groups say holds political prisoners and foreign nationals. Amnesty International, an international non-governmental organisation that campaigns to protect human rights, called the Israeli attack "deliberate" and "a serious violation of international humanitarian law". The air strikes should therefore be "criminally investigated as war crimes", it said. "The Israeli military carried out multiple air strikes on Evin prison, killing and injuring scores of civilians and causing extensive damage and destruction in at least six locations across the prison complex," Amnesty said, basing its assessment on what it said were verified video footage, satellite images and witness statements. There was nothing to suggest that Evin prison could justifiably be seen as a "legal military objective", it said. The strike on Evin was part of a bombardment campaign Israel launched on Iranian targets on June 13 with the stated aim of stopping the Islamic republic from acquiring nuclear weapon capabilities. The victims of the June 23 attack included administrative staff, guards, prisoners and visiting relatives, as well as people living nearby. Between 1,500 and 2,000 prisoners were being held at the time in the prison. Among them were Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris, two French nationals arrested three years ago accused of espionage. They were not injured in the attack, their families said, and have since been transferred to a different location. France, and other western governments, consider them and others to be "hostages" taken by the Iranian authorities for leverage in negotiations. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
