Egypt condemns Israel's statements on West Bank annexation, cites international law violations
Egypt on Wednesday expressed its harsh rejection of recent statements by several Israeli officials regarding the imposition of Israel's sovereignty over the occupied West Bank. The latest of these was a statement by the Israeli Minister of Justice explicitly calling for the annexation of Palestinian lands. In an official statement released by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo affirmed that these declarations are a flagrant violation of international legitimacy and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Egypt noted that such statements aim to legitimize Israel's illegal occupation and undermine opportunities for achieving a just and comprehensive peace. Any attempts to impose a 'fait accompli' policy through settlement expansion and illegal annexation are a serious infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people, the statement emphasized. They also undermine the foundations of the two-state solution, including the Palestinians' right to establish their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Egypt further condemned the escalating Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank, which include military incursions, arbitrary arrests, and illegal settlement expansion. The ministry highlighted that these practices coincide with the 'bloody aggression' endured by the Gaza Strip, which threatens the very fabric of life there. Finally, Egypt called upon the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities and act immediately to halt the grave violations faced by the Palestinian people. The statement underscored the necessity of concerted international efforts to support the legitimate aspirations of Palestinians, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on their entire national territory.

US Halts Key Military Shipments to Ukraine
Israa Farhan The United States has suspended certain military aid shipments to Kyiv, sparking contrasting reactions in both Ukraine and Russia. While Ukrainian officials expressed deep concern and warned the move could empower Russian forces, Moscow welcomed the decision as a step toward ending the conflict. According to two informed sources, the US Department of Defense has paused deliveries of key air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions due to concerns over critically low American stockpiles. The delayed shipments reportedly include interceptor missiles crucial for neutralizing Russian drones and artillery, which have been vital in defending Ukrainian airspace. The slowdown in arms transfers reportedly began in recent days, affecting weaponry promised by the administration of former President Joe Biden. White House Deputy Spokesperson Anna Kelly confirmed the decision, stating it followed a broader Pentagon review designed to prioritize America's strategic needs globally. Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs swiftly responded by summoning US Chargé d'Affaires Jon Ginkel to express formal concern. In a statement, the ministry warned that delays in military assistance could embolden Moscow to escalate its offensives instead of seeking a diplomatic resolution. An anonymous Ukrainian defense source admitted the pause creates a serious gap in their battlefield readiness, noting that Ukraine is currently heavily dependent on US-supplied munitions. While European nations are contributing significantly, the absence of US firepower, especially 155mm artillery shells, poses a serious operational challenge. Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of Ukraine's Parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defense, called the suspension deeply distressing, particularly amid intensified Russian attacks. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense confirmed it is reviewing the situation amid reports of halted aid, though it has yet to receive official notification from Washington regarding any change in the delivery schedule. Meanwhile, the Kremlin welcomed the development. Russian officials interpreted the US decision as a potential turning point that could accelerate diplomatic efforts and bring the conflict closer to an end. 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 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 Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
