UN says Israel to allow 100 trucks of emergency aid into Gaza
CAIRO – 20 May 2025: The United Nations stated that it has received permission from Israel to allow approximately 100 additional trucks of emergency aid into Gaza, according to al Qahera news channel, Tuesday. On Monday, correspondent at Al-Qahera News TV Channel reported that more than 20 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip since dawn. The Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18, following a two-month pause under a ceasefire agreement that went into effect on January 19. However, the Israeli Occupation has violated the terms of the ceasefire over the past two months, continuing its bombing of various areas in the Gaza Strip, causing casualties and injuries. The Israeli Occupation has also refused to implement the humanitarian protocol, tightening its stifling blockade on the Strip, which is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian tragedy.

Macron says France could recognize Palestinian state in June
CAIRO – 9 April 2028: France is planning to recognize a Palestinian state within months and could make the move at a UN conference in New York in June on settling the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday. 'We must move toward recognition, and we will do so in the coming months,' Macron told France 5 television. 'Our aim is to chair this conference with Saudi Arabia in June, where we could finalize this movement of mutual recognition (of a Palestinian state) by several parties,' he added. Macron condemned on Tuesday, the targeting of humanitarian and relief teams in the Gaza Strip. According to al Qahera news channel, Macron considered the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza a 'top priority.' The French president stressed that a political solution is the only way to achieve a settlement in Gaza, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire in Gaza as a prelude to launching a political process. Macron visited on Tuesday al Arish city, as part of his high-level official visit to Egypt. Presidency Spokesperson, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy stated this visit affirms France's solidarity with Egypt's significant efforts in receiving and caring for the Palestinians affected by the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The visit included a tour by Presidents El-Sisi and Macron of Al-Arish General Hospital, where they met with a number of injured Palestinians, particularly women and children. They also visited the Egyptian Red Crescent's logistics center designated for collecting humanitarian aid provided by Egypt and other countries for delivery to the Gaza Strip. During the visit to Al-Arish General Hospital, Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population, Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, briefed the two presidents on the Egyptian government's efforts to provide healthcare and necessary treatment for the injured Palestinians arriving from Gaza. He noted that Egypt has received around 107,000 injured Palestinians, conducted the required medical examinations, and vaccinated 27,000 Palestinian children. He added that Egyptian hospitals have received over 8,000 injured Palestinians suffering from various wounds, accompanied by 16,000 escorts. More than 5,160 surgeries have been performed, and 300 hospitals across 26 Egyptian governorates have treated Palestinian patients. Currently, injured Palestinians are present in 176 hospitals across 24 governorates in Egypt, with accommodation and basic needs provided for all their companions. Regarding Egypt's ambulance efforts, 150 ambulances have been allocated in North Sinai to receive cases coming through the border from the Palestinian Red Crescent, and to distribute them across Egyptian hospitals with the help of 750 medics and drivers. The minister of health added that the total cost of medical services that Egypt provided amounts to approximately $578 million. The amount is expected to reach $1 billion, as the state bears the costs of subsistence, hosting, and accommodation, also taking into account that the amount of in-kind aid Egypt has received from other countries does not exceed 10% of the total cost it has incurred since the outbreak of the crisis. He also said that the Ministry of Health has allocated 38,000 doctors and 25,000 nurses of various specialties to deal with medical cases, in addition to providing the necessary treatment for chronic cases for those arriving from the Gaza Strip. He explained that the President has given directives to the government, particularly the Ministry of Health, since the beginning of the crisis to take all the necessary measures to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinians. The Spokesman for the Presidency confirmed that the President emphasized the unwavering position of both the leadership and people of Egypt in support of the Palestinian brothers. He noted that Egypt is making strenuous efforts and intensive diplomatic endeavors to achieve an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and to ensure that the necessary humanitarian aid reaches the people in the Strip. This is in order to save the lives of the innocent and protect the brotherly Palestinian people from the repercussions of the aggression. President El-Sisi thanked the French side for its support in contributing to providing the necessary medical care to the wounded Palestinians. The spokesman added that the two presidents emphasized the necessity of an immediate ceasefire and the importance of working to expedite the delivery of humanitarian aid and to ensure the protection of civilians and relief workers. Both presidents emphasized their categorical rejection of any attempts aimed at displacing Palestinians from their land.

Hamas announces assassination of its political bureau member Ismail Barhoum
CAIRO – 24 March 2025: Hamas announced on Monday the assassination of its political bureau member, Ismail Barhoum, in an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex, according to al Qahera news channel. It was added that targeting Barhoum during his treatment is a 'new crime in the occupation's long history of violating health facilities.' Death toll of Palestinians from the Israeli aggression on Gaza have increased to more than 50,000 people since October 7, 2023, according to the daily report of the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. A total of 41 martyrs (including two recovered martyrs) and 61 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours, the report said, noting that a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, unable to be reached by ambulance and civil defense crews. The daily report also mentioned that the death and injury toll of Palestinians since March 18, 2025, when Israel resumed its airstrikes on the strip, has reached 673 martyrs, and 1,233 injuries. Additionally, a total of 233 names of killed people have been added to the cumulative statistics of martyrs, whose data has been completed and approved by the Judicial Committee following up on the report and the missing persons file. The Israeli forces resumed attacks on Gaza on March 18, breaking a ceasefire that had allowed for the release of dozens of captives taken by Hamas during the October 7, 2023 attacks. Extensive airstrikes targeted several parts of the enclave and ground operations were renewed, resulting in over 600 fatalities among Gazans. The US has expressed 'full support for Israel and the Israeli army in the actions they have taken in recent days.' The Israeli army instructed residents of Tal Al-Sultan to walk to the so-called 'humanitarian area' in Al-Mawasi, according to the Palestinian News and Info Agency (WAFA).
