Saudi Arabia Distributes 60,000 Sacrificial Shares to Egypt and Palestine
Saudi Arabia has officially handed over 60,000 shares of sacrificial livestock to Egypt and Palestine as part of the Kingdom's Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi. The initiative aims to distribute sacrificial meat to those in need across the Islamic world.
During a ceremony at the Saudi embassy in Cairo, Saudi Deputy Ambassador to Egypt Abdulrahman bin Salem Al-Dahas delivered the shares—30,000 for Egypt and 30,000 for Palestine. The event was attended by officials from both recipient nations.
Dr. Saad Al-Wabel, General Supervisor of the project, highlighted Saudi Arabia's commitment to ensuring efficient distribution and maximum benefit from sacrificial meat in 26 Islamic countries. He reaffirmed that the initiative reflects the Kingdom's dedication to humanitarian aid, particularly in crisis-stricken areas.
Palestinian Ambassador to Egypt, Diab Al-Louh, expressed deep gratitude to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their continued generosity. He noted that this year's delivery is particularly crucial as the Gaza Strip faces severe humanitarian challenges, requiring intensified relief efforts.
Egyptian officials also extended their appreciation to Saudi leadership for its unwavering support of Arab and Islamic communities.
The Project for Utilization of Hady and Adahi, overseen by the Islamic Development Bank, facilitates the proper distribution of sacrificial meat from pilgrims, ensuring it reaches those in need across the Muslim world.

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia assert exclusive rights over Durra gas field
TDT | agencies Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have exclusive rights to the Durra gas field in the Gulf, Kuwaiti Oil Minister Saad Al-Barrak said on Sunday, urging Iran to begin maritime border demarcation if it wishes to assert any claims. 'So far, the Durra field is an exclusive right of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia,' he told Saudi Al Ekhbariya TV. 'Anyone with claims should start by demarcating borders, and if they have a rightful claim, they will get it under international law.' He said Iran's claims lack a clear legal basis due to the absence of defined maritime boundaries. His remarks follow a statement from Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry reaffirming that the natural resources in the divided submerged zone, including the entire Durra field, are jointly owned by Riyadh and Kuwait alone. The Kingdom has again called on Iran to begin negotiations on border demarcation, in line with international law.

Nuclear inspectors have left Iran: UN watchdog
TDT | Jerusalem UN nuclear watchdog inspectors left Iran on Friday, according to the agency, which called for the resumption of its 'indispensable monitoring' after the Islamic republic officially suspended its cooperation. The suspension came after last month's 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which saw unprecedented Israeli and US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and escalated tensions between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Hamas weighs new truce terms
Hamas said yesterday it was holding consultations with other Palestinian movements on a truce proposal in the war with Israel, in a possible sign that it was preparing for negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza. The statement came ahead of a visit on Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, where President Donald Trump is pushing for an end to the war. The conflict in Gaza began with Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which sparked a massive Israeli offensive aimed at destroying Hamas and bringing home all the hostages seized by gunmen. Two previous ceasefires mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the United States have seen a temporary halt in fighting, coupled with the return of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. 'The movement is conducting consultations with leaders of Palestinian forces and factions regarding the proposal received... from the mediators,' Hamas said in a statement early yesterday. Hours earlier, Netanyahu vowed to bring home all the hostages held by armed groups in Gaza, after coming under massive domestic pressure including from the hostages' loved ones over their fate. 'I feel a deep commitment, first and foremost, to ensure the return of all our abductees, all of them,' Netanyahu told inhabitants of the Nir Oz kibbutz, the community that saw the most hostages seized in the 2023 Hamas attack. Trump on Thursday said he wanted 'safety' for people in Gaza, as he prepared to host his ally. 'I want to see safety for the people of Gaza. They've gone through hell,' he said. 60-day truce proposal A Palestinian source familiar with the negotiations told AFP earlier this week that there were no fundamental changes in the new proposal under discussion compared to previous terms presented by the United States. The source said the new proposal 'includes a 60-day truce, during which Hamas would release half of the living Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for Israel releasing a number of Palestinian prisoners and detainees'. Earlier this week, Israel's top diplomat Gideon Saar said any chance to free the hostages 'must not be missed', after Trump urged Hamas to agree to a 60- day ceasefire that he said had Israel's backing. Nearly 21 months of war have created dire humanitarian conditions for the more than two million people in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has recently expanded its military operations against Hamas. Out of 251 hostages seized by Palestinian armed groups during the October 7 attack, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Yesterday, Gaza's civil defence agency said that overnight Israeli strikes killed at least 15 people. Civil defence official Mohammad al-Mughayyir told AFP that seven people, including a child, were killed in an Israeli air strike on displaced people's tents near the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis. Mughayyir said eight more people were killed in two other strikes on tent encampments on the coast of Khan Yunis, including one that killed two children early yesterday.
