Egyptian international Ali Zein has completed his move to Hungarian champions Telekom Veszprem on a two-year contract, the Egyptian Handball Association announced on Monday. The 34-year-old arrives from Romanian side CS Dinamo București, where he spent the past three seasons and won two domestic cups. Zein also had a brief but successful stint at Spanish powerhouse Barcelona in 2021, helping the Catalan club secure a sweep of titles including the EHF Champions League, Liga ASOBAL, Copa del Rey, Copa ASOBAL and Supercopa ASOBAL. At Veszprem, Zein will link up with fellow Egyptians Yehya El-Deraa, who joined the club in 2022, and newcomers Ahmed Adel and Ahmed Hisham, who are set to arrive this summer from Ahly and France's Montpellier, respectively.

He was also part of the Egyptian squad that achieved a historic fourth-place finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Egyptian advocate Rahma Zein to EU: Your racism on Palestine has global consequences; heed student solidarity
Speaking at the European Parliament in Brussels on April 30, 2025, Egyptian Palestinian rights advocate Rahma Zein emphasized the power of European student movements in resisting rising far-right ideologies. In a stark warning delivered alongside Rima Hassan, respected French politician and human rights advocate, Zein warned that the normalization of atrocities in Gaza and the ongoing occupation of Palestine are fueling extremist narratives. She urged students to stand firm, asserting that the youth movement represents a vital resistance against complicity and silence. Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and a well-regarded advocate for peace and human rights, has been a powerful voice in European political circles, significantly amplifying awareness of the Palestinian cause. Hassan, a fierce opponent of the expanding far-right across Europe, has relentlessly used her platform to contest policies that entrench injustice and inequality. Her leadership proved crucial in this event, compellingly highlighting the urgent imperative for European policymakers to confront the Palestinian issue. Hassan, who extended the invitation to Zein, has a long-standing record as a dedicated ally in the pursuit of global justice, consistently striving to position Europe as a strong advocate for human rights on the world stage. Their collaboration convened diverse political forces for an open dialogue, tackling the perils of far-right rhetoric, the imperative of a united, peaceful resolution to the continuing crisis in Gaza. Furthermore, Zein directly cautioned far-right politicians that that their racism resonates deeply and is closely scrutinized across the Arab region. Zein stressed that Europe's double standards—notably its failure to uphold Palestinian human rights—are keenly observed and will inevitably trigger far-reaching, global consequences.

Egypt's Rahma Zein Addresses European Parliament on Palestine
'You can no longer hide behind Israel's PR machine,' stated Rahma Zein at the European Student Forum. May 01, 2025 Egyptian advocate and podcaster Rahma Zein addressed the European Parliament on April 30th, 2025, during the European Student Forum, emphasizing the role of youth movements in resisting far-right ideologies and and expressing solidarity with Palestine amid the ongoing genocide. Speaking alongside French Member of the European Parliament and human rights advocate Rima Hassan, who invited her to the forum, Zein warned of the dangers posed by the normalization of violence in Gaza and the continued occupation of Palestine. She called on European students to remain resilient and engaged, highlighting the power of youth activism in challenging political complacency and opposing extremist rhetoric. Zein issued a direct warning to European politicians, stating, 'Europe's double standards, particularly its failure to uphold human rights in Palestine, do not go unnoticed and will inevitably have a ripple effect beyond its borders.' She continued, 'You can no longer hide behind Israel's PR machine, or use their key messages to sedate people and give them an excuse to ignore the war crimes committed in the name of Zionism. In one moment in time we saw a young girl called Hind Rajab get shot 355 times by a man with a gun and we looked to your civilized world with your civilized ways and yet you did nothing. In one moment in time an old man went to get his family aid and got struck by weapons so advanced it tore him to pieces and you did nothing.' Zein rose to broader public attention after confronting a CNN correspondent at Egypt's Rafah border in October 2023, an exchange that resonated widely and brought international focus to Arab critiques of Western media coverage during the Gaza genocide.
