Saudi sponsor accused of assaulting Egyptian workers; Cairo embassy steps in
A group of Egyptian workers in Saudi Arabia reportedly suffered an assault by their sponsor (Kafeel), prompting intervention from Cairo's embassy in Riyadh, according to the Egyptian community in the Kingdom and local media, RT Arabic reported. A video of the incident, circulating on social media, shows a Saudi individual assaulting one of the Egyptian workers inside his accommodation. This escalation led the workers to file a complaint with their embassy in Riyadh, which subsequently initiated legal action against the Saudi sponsor. On Thursday, the Egyptian community in Saudi Arabia announced via a Facebook post that the Egyptian Embassy in Riyadh held a meeting that morning with the assaulted workers. The meeting, attended by Consul General Ambassador Tarek El-Meligy and labor advisors from the embassy, involved officials listening to each worker's testimony individually and fully documenting their accounts to prepare for securing all their rights in accordance with established regulations. The community affirmed that a legal pathway has been opened to guarantee the workers' rights and ensure accountability for those responsible for the assault. They also emphasized that this was an isolated incident that in no way represents the nature of the relationship between the brotherly Egyptian and Saudi peoples, nor does it reflect the general reality of Egyptian labor in the Kingdom, which has enjoyed respect, appreciation, and care from all Saudi authorities for many decades.

India fueling regional tensions through terrorism, says DG ISPR
In an exclusive interview with RT Arabic, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), accused India of fueling regional tensions through 'sponsored terrorism' and deceptive propaganda, stressing that Pakistan's first priority was peace. The senior military official dissected recent escalations, revealing how Pakistan responded with precision strikes while India 'hid behind lies.' Sharif pointed to the Pahalgam incident, where Indian media and social platforms 'immediately blamed Pakistan' within minutes—only for India's Foreign Ministry to admit days later that investigations were still ongoing. President Zardari praises military's 'unshakable courage' in thwarting aggression during Gujranwala visit: ISPR 'Where is the wisdom in leveling accusations without evidence?' he questioned. Pakistan had offered to share any proof with a neutral body, but India rejected the proposal and instead launched unilateral strikes, targeting mosques and killing civilians, including children and the elderly. The DG ISPR asserted that India remains the 'real patron of terrorism in Pakistan,' whether through supporting Khawarij militants or Baloch insurgent groups. He reaffirmed the military's sacred duty to defend sovereignty, stating: 'We have fulfilled this responsibility at all costs and will continue to do so.' Sharif revealed that on the nights of May 6–7, India fired missiles into Pakistan, prompting the Pakistan Air Force to shoot down five enemy aircraft. 'The nation and armed forces stood united like an iron wall,' he said. When India attacked again on May 9–10, Pakistan responded with 'restraint and responsibility,' striking only military targets and avoiding civilian casualties—a 'measured, just, and balanced response.'
