Algeria Summons French Diplomatic Envoy Over Diplomatic Bag Dispute
By Ahmad El-Assasy Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that it has summoned the French Embassy's chargé d'affaires for the second time, in protest over continued restrictions hampering the Algerian diplomatic mission in Paris. The tensions center around alleged obstacles to the transfer and receipt of Algerian diplomatic pouches in France. In an official statement, the Algerian government denounced what it called a 'clear violation of international obligations' by the French authorities. The Ministry emphasized that the obstructions, which initially affected the Algerian Embassy in Paris, have since extended to the country's consulates across France—despite prior assurances from the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs that the matter would be resolved. In response, Algeria has implemented reciprocal measures by revoking the special access privileges previously granted to members of the French diplomatic mission in Algeria. These privileges had allowed French diplomats streamlined access to Algerian ports and airports. Algeria had earlier voiced surprise and concern over the French measures, which reportedly prevented embassy personnel from entering restricted zones in French airports—areas they require access to for handling diplomatic mail and secure consignments. The move adds to simmering tensions between the two countries, already strained by historical sensitivities and occasional diplomatic flare-ups. Algeria's decision to escalate the matter through reciprocal action signals growing frustration and a call for adherence to diplomatic norms. 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 Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Lithuania Pledges €30 Mln for Patriot Missile Systems for Ukraine
Israa Farhan Lithuania has committed €30 million towards the procurement of US-made Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine, marking a significant contribution to Western-led efforts to strengthen Kyiv's defense capabilities against ongoing Russian aggression. The announcement was made by Lithuanian Defense Minister Dovile Sakaliene following a high-level meeting in which defense chiefs from the Baltic states convened with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The funds will support a joint initiative to acquire advanced anti-aircraft missile systems from the United States. The pledge signals alignment with US President Donald Trump's position that further weapons deliveries to Ukraine will be contingent on European nations financing such efforts. The Patriot missile systems, known for their high-precision interception capabilities, are expected to enhance Ukraine's ability to counter aerial threats, including missile and drone attacks. Under the initiative, NATO will oversee the coordination of logistics and delivery. The United States has confirmed plans to transfer 17 Patriot units as part of this multinational defense effort. 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 Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
