Egypt Halts Gas Supplies to Some Industries amid Supply Disruption from East

Taarek Refaat
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced the activation of a previously prepared emergency plan for natural gas supply priorities in response to the military operations in the region and the disruption of gas supplies from the east.
The ministry stated in a statement on Friday that natural gas supplies to some industrial activities will be halted, while power plants' diesel consumption will be increased to the maximum available amount. Coordination will also be made to operate some stations with diesel.
This precautionary measure aims to preserve the stability of the natural gas network and prevent the need to reduce the electricity grid's load, pending the resumption of natural gas supply from the east.
The ministry indicated that the three refueling vessels have already arrived in Egypt, with one vessel currently refueling and pumping gas into the national natural gas grid. The other two vessels are being prepared and docked at ports to begin pumping natural gas from them.

Dodgers Donate $1M to L.A. Immigrant Families Affected by ICE Raids

Yara Sameh After a federal judge confirmed US President Donald Trump's control of the California National Guard, the Los Angeles Dodgers are giving back to those in the community impacted by the recent ICE raids. On Friday, the 8x World Series champs announced a $1 million donation in partnership with the City of Los Angeles, as well as several local organizations, to provide financial assistance for families of immigrants impacted by the raids. 'What's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard the calls for us to take a leading role on behalf of those affected,' said Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten. 'We believe that by committing resources and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift the communities of Greater Los Angeles.' Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement, 'I want to thank the Dodgers for leading with this action to support the immigrant community of Los Angeles. These last weeks have sent shockwaves of fear rippling through every neighborhood and have had a direct impact on our economy. My message to all Angelenos is clear: We will stick together during this time and we will not turn our backs on one another — that's what makes this the greatest city in the world.' After the MLB team and the city previously joined forces to dispense financial resources to those in need during the Southern California wildfires in January, they're encouraging local organizations to step up in a similar way as they did during the natural disaster to assist with food insecurity, basic essentials and mental health services. The organizations involved in the latest initiative include the California Community Foundation and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. Under a very targeted reading of an obscure statute, Trump moved to federalize the Golden State National Guard on June 7 without Newsom's consent in response to protests over a flood of ICE raids in and around LA on June 6. Since then, the parties have traded insults over social media and mainstream media, as well as been in and out of court as citizens have taken to the streets, federal buildings have become make-shift detention centers for immigrants hauled in by masked and often no warrant producing agents, and a curfew was placed on DTLA for over a week. 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 Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt 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 Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Iranian Missile Carrying 26 Smaller Warheads Causes Widespread Damage in Israel

Taarek Refaat A recent Iranian missile strike has resulted in extensive damage over a large area, with reports confirming that the missile carried 26 smaller warheads. The attack has caused destruction within a radius of several hundred meters from the impact site, according to local sources and initial assessments. The missile, which was reportedly launched from Iranian territory, has raised significant concerns about the increasing volatility in the region, especially amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. Experts suggest that the missile's payload, consisting of multiple smaller warheads, was designed to maximize the area of impact, causing widespread damage to both infrastructure and civilian areas. While details on casualties remain unclear, the scale of the damage is evident, with numerous buildings and structures suffering heavy destruction. Local emergency teams have been deployed to the affected areas to provide assistance and assess the extent of the damage. The missile strike marks a further escalation in the already tense situation, as the geopolitical rift between Israel and Iran continues to deepen. Analysts fear that such attacks could lead to even more significant military responses, further destabilizing the region. As the situation develops, international diplomatic efforts are underway to address the rising tensions and avoid further escalation of military actions. صاروخ كروز إيراني جديد يدخل الخدمة العسكرية تطوير محلي بمدى دقيق وقدرات متقدمة، يعكس تصاعد القدرات الدفاعية الإيرانية في مواجهة التهديدات — إيران بالعربية (@iraninarabic_ir) June 20, 2025 #إيران بدأت استعمال صواريخ جديدة . #اسرائيل_سقطت 🔥 #الحرب_بدأت_الان — عبدالله جعفر (@AbdoallahJafar) June 20, 2025 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 Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt 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 Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

FedEx Suspends Shipments to Israel amid Rising Regional Tensions

Taarek Refaat FedEx, the global logistics giant, has temporarily suspended shipments to Israel and Iraq due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. The company announced the decision on its official website on Friday, citing security concerns as the region grapples with growing instability between Israel and Iran. FedEx, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FDX.N," confirmed that it has also halted some of its flights to destinations in the region. The company emphasized that the safety of its employees, customers, and the communities it serves remains its top priority. "As we closely monitor developments in the region, we are adjusting our operations based on safety requirements and the evolving situation on the ground," a FedEx spokesperson stated. This decision by FedEx follows a similar move by Danish shipping giant Maersk, which announced the temporary suspension of its maritime services to the Israeli port of Haifa due to security concerns related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The ripple effects of these moves are expected to impact global supply chains, with disruptions to shipments and trade flows. The Middle East, a crucial hub for trade and logistics, has already seen a slowdown in economic activity due to the political instability, and further suspensions could exacerbate the situation. As tensions continue to rise, companies in the logistics and shipping sectors are likely to remain cautious in their operations. The ongoing situation highlights how geopolitical conflicts can quickly extend beyond national borders, influencing international commerce and the movement of goods. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt 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 Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
