Cartier celebrates the Panthère in a spectacular Istanbul showcase
Cartier transformed Istanbul's historic Esma Sultan Palace into a mesmerizing stage for its iconic Panthère collection, blending heritage and modernity in a two-night celebration. Against the backdrop of the Bosphorus, the luxury maison hosted ambassadors, VIPs, and regional tastemakers for an event that underscored the enduring power of its most emblematic symbol. The festivities began with an intimate cocktail reception at the newly unveiled Aliée Hotel, where guests—including brand ambassadors Razane Jammal, Dhafer L'Abidine, Tara Emad, and Tuba Büyüküstün—arrived adorned in Cartier's signature Pantère pieces. Sophie Doireau-Tiberghien, CEO of Cartier Middle East, India, Africa, and Türkiye, set the tone, describing the Pantère as 'a mindset' that embodies strength and sophistication. The following evening, attendees were whisked by boat to the 19th-century Esma Sultan Palace, where a projection-mapped spectacle brought the palace façade to life with animated jungle scenes and the silhouette of a stalking panther. Tunisian-Sicilian designer Iman Cocellato crafted sleek, bias-cut dresses for the models, while choreographer Louise Hadj ensured their movements mirrored the feline's sinuous grace. The event not only highlighted Cartier's mastery of craftsmanship but also its strategic vision. As the world's largest jeweler, with reported sales of €10.5 billion in FY2024, the maison continues to thrive amid a global luxury slowdown. By choosing Istanbul—a city straddling continents and cultures—Cartier reinforced its own narrative of bridging tradition and innovation. In a night where history and haute joaillerie intertwined, the message was clear: the Panthère is not just an icon—it's a force. And in Cartier's hands, its legacy only grows stronger. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: Supplied

Egypt detains nearly 200 foreigners who flew in to join Gaza march
Egyptian authorities have detained and questioned more than 200 people who arrived in Cairo to participate in the Global March to Gaza, an international action intended to break Israel's siege on the territory, the organisers said on Thursday. According to the march organisers, some 4000 people from over 40 countries had booked flights to Cairo, with many already arriving ahead of the planned march. The activists had flown to Cairo to join a grassroots land convoy which set off from the Tunisian capital on Monday in the hopes of reaching Egypt's Rafah border with Gaza as a 'symbolic act' to spotlight Israel's crippling 18-year siege on the territory. Thousands of volunteers from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia left the Tunisian capital in a 100-vehicle convoy to raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and deliver life-saving aid, organisers said. An online tracker shows that they are in the Libyan city of Misrata as of Thursday afternoon. They also said that the Egyptian government has yet to officially respond to their request for permission to proceed with the march but that they are planning to proceed with it anyway. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters "We hope to be able to work alongside the Egyptian government as a key and valued partner. Our priorities are the same: demanding the end of the Palestinian genocide," the organisers said in a statement Thursday shared with Middle East Eye. The initiative's spokesperson, Saif Abu Keshek, told AFP that over 200 pro-Palestine activists had been detained at Cairo airport 'or are being questioned at hotels across Cairo,' adding that detainees include US, Dutch, Australian, French, Spanish, Moroccan and Algerian nationals. The activists were set to travel by bus to the city of El-Arish in the Sinai Peninsula on Friday, before embarking on a march to the border with Gaza, where they will camp for three days in a bid to pressure the authorities to open the border. According to Abu Keshek, plainclothes police rounded up activists in Cairo hotels, questioning them and in some cases confiscating mobile phones and searching personal belongings. He added that following interrogations, some activists were arrested, while others were released. "Our legal services are working on these cases, as we have all complied with all the legal requirements of the Egyptian authorities," the organisers said in a statement on Thursday. "Meanwhile, thousands of march participants are already in Egypt, ready to begin the journey to El-Arish tomorrow and then continue on foot to Rafah, where we hope to arrive this Sunday." Deportations Egyptian news outlet Mada Masr reported that 40 Algerian nationals were detained on Wednesday morning and released after 24 hours, while 10 members of a delegation arriving from Morocco were reportedly turned back at the airport. Several Turkish nationals were also reportedly deported after they raised Palestinian flags outside their hotel, according to a source that spoke to Mada Masr. North African 'resilience convoy' heads to Gaza, aiming to break Israel's siege Read More » Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has urged the Egyptian authorities to block 'the jihadist protesters,' insisting that they 'would endanger the safety of (Israeli) soldiers and will not be allowed". He added that if Cairo fails to halt the march, Israeli forces would intervene to stop it. While the Egyptian foreign ministry has said that it backs 'pressure on Israel' to lift its crippling blockade on Gaza, it stressed that foreigners seeking to visit the border must receive official approval. A government source was quoted by Mada Masr as saying that the Egyptian authorities had tried to coordinate with departure countries to prevent the participants from reaching Egypt. The "Sumud" convoy, which means resilience and steadfastness in Arabic, is currently at Libya's Misrata. It includes trade union and political figures, as well as human rights activists, athletes, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and members of youth organisations. Some pro-government figures in Egypt claim the plan is a "political scheme" by people affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is outlawed in Egypt - labelling it an "anti-Egyptian establishment", rather than a pro-Palestinian, effort.

North African 'resilience convoy' heads to Gaza, aiming to break Israel's siege
A grassroots land convoy is travelling thousands of kilometres from the Tunisian capital to Gaza on Monday, in the hopes of breaking Israel's debilitating 18-year siege on the war-battered Palestinian enclave. Thousands of volunteers from Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia left the Tunisian capital in a 100-vehicle convoy to raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and deliver life-saving aid, organisers said. The United Nations has described Gaza as the "hungriest place on Earth", with nearly half a million people in a catastrophic situation of hunger, acute malnutrition, starvation, illness and death. "The convoy will express solidarity with the Palestinian people under siege and deliver humanitarian aid to them," the coordination group said in a statement. "Participants in the convoy will head to the Ras Jedir crossing on the Tunisian-Libyan border, and travel along the Libyan coastal road to Cairo, then to the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian-Palestinian border, to deliver messages of solidarity and aid to the Palestinians in Gaza," it added. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The "Soumoud" convoy, which means resilience and steadfastness in Arabic, is reported to include trade union and political figures, as well as human rights activists, athletes, lawyers, doctors, journalists, and members of youth organisations. It remains unclear, however, whether the convoy will actually reach the besieged Gaza Strip, as Egyptian officials have yet to authorise the convoy's entry into North Sinai. "This is a message to the people of Gaza: You are not alone," Sheikh Yahya Sari, a member of the Algerian Association of Muslim Scholars, said in a Facebook post. "We share your pain, and this is a form of public pressure against the occupier in the face of international failure to stop the massacres." Earlier on Monday, Israeli forces seized control of a charity vessel aiming to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and detained its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg. Gaza flotilla: The Madleen shows us the world as it could be Read More » The British-flagged yacht Madleen, operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was aiming to deliver a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid, including rice and baby formula, to Gaza later on Monday. However, the boat was intercepted in the early hours of Monday, hours after Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, said that Israel's military would use "any means necessary" to stop it from breaching the naval blockade of Gaza. In recent years, several ships have attempted to break Israel's land, sea and naval blockade on the Gaza Strip, but have repeatedly been pushed back by Israeli forces. In 2010, the Mavi Marmara flotilla mission was attacked by Israeli forces who boarded the ship and killed ten activists. And last month, another vessel organised by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Conscience, failed to continue its journey to Gaza after being struck by two drones near Maltese waters. Since October 2023, over 54,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, according to Palestinian health and government officials, including more than 28,000 women and girls. The figure also includes at least 1,400 health sector professionals, 280 UN aid workers - the highest staff death toll in UN history - and nearly 190 journalists, the highest number of media workers killed in conflict since the Committee to Protect Journalists began recording data in 1992.
