In his concluding remarks, El-Sherif offered prayers for Egypt's fallen heroes, asking God Almighty to grant them the highest ranks in paradise.

Egypt rejects ongoing Israeli escalation against Iran: Sisi tells Pezeshkian
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi expressed Egypt's complete rejection of the ongoing Israeli escalation against Iran, as it poses a threat to the security and stability of the Middle East at a critical time when the region is experiencing multiple crises. This came during a telephone call held on Saturday between El-Sisi and his Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the first officially announced contact between the two leaders since the outbreak of the war. According to a statement from the presidency, the Egyptian President emphasized the importance Egypt attaches to an immediate ceasefire, allowing for the resumption of negotiations to reach a sustainable, peaceful solution to this crisis. El-Sisi emphasized the importance of working to de-escalate the situation as much as possible and ensuring that the cycle of violence does not expand, noting that there are no military solutions to this crisis. He also emphasized to his Iranian counterpart that the only way to ensure sustainable stability in the Middle East is through the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in accordance with international legitimacy. For his part, the Iranian president was keen to express his appreciation to the President, valuing Egypt's wise positions aimed at restoring stability to the Middle East, thereby sparing the bloodshed on all sides. He also emphasized his country's alignment with Egypt's position on the need to find a just, comprehensive, and final solution to the Palestinian issue.

Mass Protests Erupt Across Europe Demanding End to Gaza Genocide
By Ahmad El-Assasy Mass protests erupted across major European cities on Saturday, as tens of thousands rallied in solidarity with Palestinians and demanded an immediate end to Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, which demonstrators described as a campaign of genocide. Major demonstrations took place in London, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, and several other cities including Stuttgart and Aarhus. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and held signs reading 'Stop the Genocide in Gaza' and 'End the War on Iran,' reflecting broader fears of escalating regional conflict. In London, tens of thousands gathered, calling on the UK government to halt arms sales to Israel and to take a firmer stance against the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza. Many voiced deep concern over a broader Middle East escalation amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, now entering its ninth day. 'It's getting worse in Gaza under the watch of the entire world,' said one demonstrator. 'It's vital we avoid another full-scale war in the region.' In Berlin, a large demonstration unfolded outside the German Parliament (Bundestag), with some protesters waving Iranian flags and calling for sanctions against Israel and a ban on weapons exports. The protests were described by Reuters as some of the most visible expressions of discontent in the German capital. In Rome, a massive pro-Palestine march called for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza and the West Bank, while other rallies took place in Stuttgart, Germany, and Aarhus, Denmark, with images shared widely by the European Palestinian Media Center. In Stockholm, hundreds gathered to denounce what they described as Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Organized by various civil society groups, the protest included signs that read 'Stop the genocide by the Zionist entity' and photos of Palestinian children killed in Israeli airstrikes. Swedish activist Janine O'Keefe told Anadolu Agency that demonstrators were demanding an immediate end to what they called 'genocide carried out by Israel in Palestine.' These coordinated protests come as Israel's military assault on Gaza—launched on October 7—enters its ninth month. According to health authorities in Gaza, the war has killed or injured over 187,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women and children, with more than 11,000 still missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, widespread famine, and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble. 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
