FM Commends Distinguished Ties between Egypt, Greece during Meeting with Counterpart
Taarek Refaat Badr Abdel Aati, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs praised the historical ties between Egypt and Greece and the distinguished political, economic, and cultural relations, which culminated last month in the elevation of relations to a strategic partnership. This came during Abdel Ati's meeting Wednesday with Greek Foreign Minister Georgios Gerapetritis. The meeting addressed ways to develop the distinguished bilateral relations between the two friendly countries. During the consultations, Abdel Ati affirmed Egypt's aspiration to continue advancing the strategic relations between the two countries to broader horizons in various fields. The Foreign Minister also briefed his Greek counterpart on the court ruling issued on May 28 regarding the lands surrounding Saint Catherine's Monastery. He emphasized that the Monastery, its archaeological sites, its spiritual value, and its religious status should not be affected. He noted that the court ruling preserves the monastery's spiritual value and high religious status, and that the ruling allows the monastery's monks to continue to benefit from it and the religious and archaeological sites in the area. He emphasized that, contrary to what was falsely reported in the media, the ruling clearly affirmed the religious, spiritual, and monastic ownership of the monastery and the surrounding lands. This represents an important historical step that confirms the sanctity and religious status of the monastery. It also enables the monastery to continue performing its religious and spiritual functions without any change to the status quo. Minister Abdel Aati highlighted the President's affirmation on several occasions, including during his recent visit to Athens on May 7, of Egypt's full commitment to preserving the monastery's sacred religious status and protecting it from any form of encroachment. He explained that this reflects Egypt's full and unwavering respect for the monastery's religious and sacred character, within the framework of the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among religions, deeply rooted in Egypt's history. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Egypt calls upon all Libyan parties to exercise maximum restraint
Protests in Tripoli of Libya against the UN-recognized Government of National Unity, led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah- screenshot from a video footage CAIRO – 17 May 2025: Egypt is closely monitoring the ongoing developments in Libya with deep concern and urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint, prioritize the interests of the Libyan people, and safeguard the nation's resources and property. The Egyptian government has also emphasized the need for Egyptian citizens currently in Libya to exercise extreme caution and remain indoors until the situation stabilizes. Citizens are strongly encouraged to stay in close contact with the Egyptian Embassy in Tripoli and the operations center set up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Egyptians Abroad, which is available to handle inquiries and provide support. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs has set up an operations room to monitor the situation on the ground and coordinate with the Egyptian Embassy in Tripoli around the clock. Egyptian citizens in Libya can contact the Embassy through the following numbers: (+0201220463333), (+218914897985), (+201226858000), (+201220473333), and (+201283176894). According to Libya Express, several ministers from the UN-recognized Government of National Unity, led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, have resigned. The officials stepping down include the second deputy to the Prime Minister and Acting Health Minister Ramadan Bujanah, Economy and Trade Minister Mohammed al-Huwaij, Local Government Minister Badr al-Tumi, and Housing and Construction Minister Abu Bakr al-Ghawi. Meanwhile, protests continued staging in Tripoli and other Western parts of the cuntry, calling for the government to step down and form another new unity national government. Since the overthrow of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has been plagued by conflict and political division. The country is currently split between two rival governments: the U.N.-recognized Government of National Unity in Tripoli, led by Abdulhamid Dbeibah and supported by allied armed factions; and a rival administration, based in Benghazi and backed by forces loyal to retired General Khalifa Haftar. Heavy and intense clashes have erupted since May 13, 2025 following the killing of Field Commander Abdul Ghani al-Kikli—also known as "Ghaniwa"—a prominent figure who led the Stability Support Apparatus and served as head of the Presidential Council's security unit.
