Egyptian & French FMs Discuss Bilateral Ties, Regional Stability
H-Tayea Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held a telephone conversation on Thursday with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot to discuss key regional developments and ways to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations. According to Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ambassador Tamim Khalaf, both ministers reaffirmed their shared commitment to advancing all aspects of bilateral relations and elevating cooperation to new levels, in line with the strong strategic ties between Egypt and France. During the call, Minister Abdelatty briefed his French counterpart on the latest developments in the Gaza Strip, including Egypt's efforts to revive and sustain the ceasefire, ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, and stabilize the situation. He also highlighted Egypt's intention to host an international conference on early recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, contingent on the maintenance of the ceasefire. Minister Abdelatty stressed the urgent need for the international community to take action to halt Israeli military operations in Gaza and the West Bank. He warned of the worsening situation in the West Bank, marked by continued military raids, arrests, and illegal settlement expansion. Reaffirming Egypt's longstanding position, Abdelatty called for a fair and lasting resolution to the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. Both ministers also agreed on the need for Israel and Iran to comply with the current ceasefire fully and emphasized the importance of coordinated regional and international efforts to stabilize the agreement, reduce tensions, and open pathways for diplomatic solutions to achieve lasting regional peace and security. 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 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 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War 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 News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"

Ukraine kills one of the highest-ranking Russian officers of the conflict
CNN — The deputy chief of the Russian Navy has been killed by Ukraine in Russia's Kursk region, Oleg Kozhemyako, the governor of the Primorsky region in Russia's far east, said Thursday. Guards Maj. Gen. Mikhail Gudkov, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy who also led a brigade that fought in Ukraine, was killed in the Russian border region that saw a successful Ukrainian incursion last year. He is one of Russia's highest-ranking officers to have been killed since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago. Kozhemyako previously handed Gudkov awards for bravery and said the two had spoken a lot over the years in a statement announcing the death. He described Gudkov as a 'strong-willed warrior' who had 'died while performing his duty as an officer together with his fellow soldiers.' Kozhemyako did not provide any further details on the circumstances of Gudkov's death. Russia's Ministry of Defense confirmed Gudkov's death on Thursday, saying he was killed in combat in the Kursk region. There has been no immediate comment from Ukraine. Gudkov was appointed as the deputy chief of the Russian Navy for coastal and ground forces by President Vladimir Putin in March. Putin said at the time: 'Since the minister and the Chief of the General Staff believe that your experience needs to be replicated in other units, I have decided to transfer you to a position – to increase your level of responsibility.' The Ukrainian military had previously accused Gudkov and other members of his former 155th brigade of committing war crimes in Ukraine, including the killing of civilians in the towns of Bucha, Irpin and Gostomel in the early months of Russia's war. Separately, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has said the 155th brigade was involved in executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war. Russia has consistently denied committing war crimes in Ukraine, despite evidence gathered by the Ukrainians and international investigators.
