Al-Sisi ratifies amendments to Old Rent Law
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has ratified Law No. 165/2025, amending certain provisions of Law No. 4/1996 regarding the application of the Civil Code to properties that have never been rented before, or whose lease contracts have ended—or will end—without granting any party the right to remain in them. The law will come into force the day after its publication in the Official Gazette. A newly added Article (2 bis) stipulates that the tenant—or their general or specific successor—must vacate the rented property and return it to the owner or lessor at the end of the lease term specified in the contract. Should the tenant refuse, the owner or lessor may request the summary judge of the competent court to issue an eviction order, without prejudice to the right to claim compensation if applicable. The Egyptian House of Representatives gave final approval to the government-proposed amendments in early July, aiming to resolve longstanding legal and economic challenges associated with old rent agreements. Under the new law, a transitional period has been set before the termination of these contracts: seven years for residential units and five years for non-residential units rented by natural persons. This is intended as a step towards liberalising rental relations between landlords and tenants. At the end of the transitional period, tenants will be required to vacate the units and return them to the owners. The law also confirms that all previous legislation regulating old rent agreements will be repealed after this period. New rental contracts thereafter will fall under the provisions of the Civil Code, ensuring freedom of contract between landlords and tenants. The Old Rent Law has been the subject of widespread debate in recent years. Supporters—mainly property owners—argue it has caused decades of injustice and financial loss due to outdated, fixed rental values. Meanwhile, opponents—primarily long-term tenants—express concern over eviction and the challenge of meeting significantly higher rental prices under new agreements.

Under pressure, Netanyahu says Gaza war plan will be revised - War on Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the military's Gaza war plan will be revised, amid mounting domestic pressure following the release of videos showing emaciated Israeli captives pleading for help and describing going days without food. Speaking after a week of public outcry, Netanyahu reiterated the government's three stated objectives: the destruction of Hamas, the return of Israeli captives, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel. The Israeli PM also claimed that new orders for the military are imminent. On Monday, Netanyahu stated that he would be updating the Gaza war plan, still aiming to achieve his three objectives: the destruction of Hamas, the return of Israeli captives, and ensuring that Gaza is no longer a threat to Tel Aviv. However, domestic criticism continues to mount. On Monday, opposition leader Yair Lapid said: 'The Israeli government no longer knows why soldiers continue to die in Gaza. Only the Netanyahu government refuses to discuss the question of how the war will end. It has not presented any plan, any political vision.' Earlier in the day, 600 former Israeli security officials called on US President Donald Trump to "steer" Israel toward ending the war. 'Stop the war!' Meanwhile, around 1,000 Israeli artists, writers, and cultural figures signed a petition on Sunday titled Stop the Horror in Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire. The petition precedes a United Nations (UN) Security Council session scheduled for Monday to discuss the fate of Israeli captives still held in Gaza. The petition reads: 'Against our values and will, we find ourselves complicit in the horrific actions carried out by our government in Gaza: the killing of children and civilians, policies of starvation, mass displacement, and the senseless destruction of entire cities.' It garnered 974 named signatories, including prominent cultural figures, and 62 anonymous supporters. 'Horror on a historic scale is taking place before our eyes,' the statement continues. 'We have the responsibility as humans and as Israelis facing horrors happening in our name against a population located a few kilometres from us, in an impossible reality and terrible suffering.' It concludes: 'Do not issue illegal orders and do not obey them! Do not commit war crimes! Do not abandon the principles of human morality and the values of Judaism! Stop the war.' The petition is the latest in a growing wave of efforts urging Netanyahu's government to reach a ceasefire and captive exchange deal. Weekly demonstrations have continued in Tel Aviv and other cities, while many families of captives say they have no recourse but to speak out through statements, social media, and rallies. In response to public anger, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said the captives were not being deliberately starved, but receive the same limited rations as fighters and civilians under siege. 'They (the captives) won't be offered special privileges while our people suffer starvation and siege,' the group said. A humanitarian catastrophe As pressure builds inside Israel, conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has warned that the Strip now faces the 'worst-case scenario of famine.' Earlier in the day, dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while trying to access food. Another 16 were killed Sunday while waiting for aid. The IPC warned: 'People's access to food across Gaza is now alarmingly erratic and extremely perilous.' The famine reflects the wider humanitarian collapse triggered by Israel's 22-month genocidal war and systemic starvation policies, with the UN previously declaring Gaza 'the hungriest place on Earth,' and 100 percent of the population at risk of famine as of May. Since mid-May, the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has distributed limited flour rations to starving, aid-seeking Palestinians. However, GHF aid distribution points have been condemned by tens of international aid agencies and humanitarian organizations as a "death trap", with Israeli soldiers killing over 1,400 aid-seeking Palestinians at their centres since its inception.
