OPN// Egypt condemns attacks of Israeli settlers on WB
CAIRO, June 28 (MENA) - Egypt strongly condemned the repeated attacks carried out by Israeli settlers against innocent Palestinian civilians in several towns and villages across the occupied West Bank, the most recent of which resulted in the killing and injury of a number of Palestinians in the village of Kafr Malik. Egypt affirmed that there is no doubt these systematic assaults against the Palestinian people constitute a blatant violation of international law and the four Geneva Conventions. These attacks also undermine all efforts aimed at achieving security, peace, and stability. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration on Saturday, Egypt emphasized the urgent need for the international community to take action to put an end to these blatant violations and to assume its responsibility in confronting the ongoing injustices faced by the Palestinian people under the occupation. Egypt reiterated its firm position that all Israeli settlements in the occupied Arab territories are illegal and represent a major obstacle to reaching a just settlement of the Palestinian cause, added the statement. Egypt reaffirmed its full support for the brotherly Palestinian people in achieving their legitimate aspirations to establish an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Congratulations to Egypt
Elham Aboul Fateh A major victory for the Egyptian parliament was achieved this week. Egypt assumed the presidency of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (PAUfM) . Egypt was elected unanimously by the member states, who voted for MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the Egyptian Parliament, to assume the presidency of the Mediterranean Parliament. This victory is the result of Egypt's foreign policy and the world's growing confidence in the wisdom of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who was able to restore Egypt's regional and international position with steady steps and a clear vision. MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein emphasized this in his speech after assuming the presidency, where he spoke about President Sisi's wisdom, leadership, and wise leadership that has restored Egypt's leadership in its region and the world, and about the major role played by the Egyptian Parliament in its current session, headed by Counselor Dr. Hanafi El-Gebali, and the achievements made during the recent period. He presented a comprehensive roadmap for cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean, based on the principle of equality and equivalence, far from conditional aid or unbalanced relations, with an ambitious vision that takes relations from words to implementation, from crises to practical solutions, in the spirit of true cooperation. I was there and I felt proud as an Egyptian, as my heart was filled with pride for my country since it gained the world's respect and appreciation. I saw looks of respect directed at Egypt, not only for its historical weight, but also for its role and its plans for the future. Egypt's selection to assume the presidency of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (PAUfM), with the unanimous support of 38 countries, confirms that it remains the cornerstone of stability in the region and the natural bridge linking the North to the South, and Europe to the Arab world and Africa. MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein, the new President of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliament, is a highly experienced parliamentarian with a long history of international engagement. He possesses a capacity for influence, dialogue, and joint construction. This is what made his selection widely welcomed and appreciated. The selection of Egypt is a victory for its policies, institutions, political leaders, and people. Congratulations to Egypt. God bless Egypt. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why?
