Cairo conference on Gaza champions Egyptian, Arab rejection of any Palestinian displacement: Statement
The statement stressed that recent proposals to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip should not be viewed solely within the narrow scope of reconstructing Gaza but rather as part of broader attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause - an approach that aligns with Israeli schemes pursued for over eight decades.
The statement commended Cairo's firm political stance in rejecting all proposals and attempts to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip.
It noted that Cairo views any attempts to displace the Palestinians to the Sinai Peninsula as a red line for the Egyptian state and society.
The statement condemned floating displacement plans for trumpeting the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
'Such plans violate international norms and laws and constitute ethnic cleansing and a crime against humanity that must be prevented and opposed,' the statement read.
"Those propagating such plans must be held accountable," it added.
Applauding Egypt's plan for Gaza reconstruction
The statement commended Egypt's ongoing efforts to formulate a comprehensive project for reconstructing the Gaza Strip without any displacement of the native population.
It noted that the Egyptian vision for the reconstruction of the strip would be presented at the upcoming emergency Arab summit, called by Egypt at the request of the Palestinian Authority and set for 4 March in Cairo, to secure collective Arab support for the plan.
The statement emphasized that post-war reconstruction and conflict resolution models in various regions worldwide have been based on returning refugees and displaced persons in the native population to their homes.
It noted that reconstruction efforts are not fundamentally incompatible with the presence of the native population on their land.
The statement praised the US' efforts in reaching the Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which paused the 15-month Israeli genocidal war on the strip, while looking forward to a leading role for Washington in solidifying the agreement and pushing forward the Middle East peace process.
Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations have rejected all recent US/Israeli proposals and schemes for the displacement of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, while stressing that the two-state solution is the only guarantee for regional peace and security.
Egypt has recently announced that the country possesses the will and capabilities to rebuild the Gaza Strip in three years.

US Poll Shows Majority Support Recognition of Palestinian State
Israa Farhan A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has revealed that 58 percent of Americans believe all United Nations member states should recognize Palestine as an independent state. The findings come as Israel and Hamas weigh the possibility of a ceasefire in the conflict that has raged for nearly two years. The six-day survey, which concluded last Monday, coincided with announcements from Canada, Britain, and France confirming their plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state. This diplomatic shift has added further pressure on Israel amid worsening hunger and humanitarian conditions in Gaza. International attention remains fixed on whether Israel and Hamas can finalize a deal for a 60-day ceasefire. Such an agreement would halt hostilities, enable the release of around half of the remaining Israeli hostages, and open the way for increased humanitarian aid deliveries. Several allies of the United States, including Britain, Canada, and Australia, warned last week that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels. Relief organizations have echoed these concerns, warning that the enclave's population is on the brink of famine. The UN Human Rights Office has stated that Israel is not allowing sufficient supplies into Gaza to prevent widespread hunger. Israel, however, rejects responsibility, claiming that Hamas has diverted aid shipments. The poll found that 65 percent of Americans believe the United States should take direct measures to help civilians in Gaza facing starvation, while 28 percent opposed such action. Furthermore, 59 percent of respondents said Israel's military response in Gaza has been excessive, compared with 33 percent who disagreed. In a similar Ipsos survey conducted in February 2024, 53 percent considered Israel's actions excessive, while 42 percent disagreed. 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 News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

The Reins of Real Development
By Pr. Abdelhak Azzouzi Anyone who follows most of the recommendations of international organizations concerned with development issues will see that they call for the need to correct some aspects of structural imbalance in some economies by reducing expenditures and having their countries develop comprehensive short- and long-term economic plans. The plans aim to direct their economies toward activities that help diversify and vary their sources of national income and accelerate sustainable development efforts. They also call for increased attention to knowledge production by creating appropriate legislative and economic environments that create the appropriate conditions for this important element, which can provide another source of income. Many of these recommendations also focus on the need to invest in the human factor, without which the interests of people and generations are lost. Countries like Japan and South Korea, which do not have any natural resources, invested in their human capital after the end of World War II and became advanced nations, where their scientific research has become advanced and has nourished them into proverbial nations. Today, it is everyone's responsibility in the Arab world to invest in human capital and make bold decisions to achieve compatibility between scientific, professional, and technical training with the requirements of the modern economy, encourage scientific research and innovation, and engage in the knowledge and communication economy and society. Institutionalizing scientific research and providing it with an institutional climate and sufficient financial resources is what has made industrialized countries reach the level of development and progress they have reached in various fields. When there is a deficiency or negative change, we see how they lose significant points on the scale of developed nations. France, for example, invests only 2.2 percent of its GDP in research and development, which is lower than in some countries. Although this figure is considered a large investment, it is lower than some countries that set higher budgets for scientific research, such as Israel which invests 5.5 percent, and South Korea, which invests 4.9 percent of its GDP; This is lower than those that invest more than 3 percent of their GDP in scientific research and university training, such as the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Austria, and Germany. This is lower than the countries that invest more than 3 percent of their GDP in scientific research and university education, such as the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Austria, and Germany. According to leading experts, France has lagged in recent years in terms of industry and development. Some might say it's a matter of resources and financial crises, but I say it's a matter of will. Belgium, for example, is a small country that, more than a decade and a half ago, invested only 2 percent of its GDP in scientific research. Today, it invests 3.4 percent of its GDP in this field. This placed France in 17th place globally, after previously ranking first. Furthermore, it used to rank eighth globally in the production of peer-reviewed scientific articles, and now it ranks 13th globally. Another observation I would like to make in this analysis is that many ministers, economic officials, and politicians in Western countries lack the basics of advanced scientific research, which is reflected in their public policies. I have researched extensively to explain France's partial delay in industrialization, and found that the ruling elite is far removed from the world of scientific research. In the top schools from which this ruling elite graduated, the collegians do not go on to complete their doctoral dissertations. Thirty percent of engineers at the faculties of technical sciences, 20 percent of engineers at the School of Mines, and less than 10 percent of graduates at the Higher Schools of Business and Political Science Institutes do not complete their doctoral research. I still remember that when I was pursuing my studies at the Institute of Political Science in Toulouse, France, we were only four students out of a group of 30 who discussed their doctorates. The trilogy of university, skilled scientific research, and industry is what builds advanced nations, strengthens their industries, and contributes to the present and future. Japan is a country with a very limited area, yet it represents the world's second-largest economy. There is not a house worldwide without a machine, computer, or phone made in this country; Japan is a giant factory built on the trifecta of university, skilled scientific research, and industry, as well as on insightful public policies in the field of advanced industries and realistic investments. It imports all raw materials to produce manufactured goods to export to all countries of the world. Take a European country, Switzerland, which, despite not growing cocoa, produces and exports the best chocolate in the world. Furthermore, regardless of its geography and limited agricultural area, it produces the most important dairy products in the world. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why?

The attack triggered clashes in the area, and Israeli army helicopters were deployed to evacuate wounded soldiers. While no official figures have been released, local media reported several casualties among Israeli troops. The Israeli military said it was investigating the incident and vowed to continue its operations in Rafah, which has been a focal point of fighting in recent weeks. Palestinian sources, meanwhile, described the assault as part of ongoing resistance against Israeli ground forces operating inside Gaza. The Rafah attack underscores the mounting risks faced by Israeli forces as they press ahead with their campaign, and comes as tensions rise over planned military operations in other parts of Gaza. 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 News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
