OPEN/ FM stresses Egypt's firm support for Yemen's legitimate government
CAIRO, June 22 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty stressed Egypt's firm support for the legitimate Yemeni government.
His remarks came during a meeting on Sunday with Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Shaya Mohsin Zindani, on the sidelines of their participation in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers' meeting in Turkey's Istanbul.
The top Egyptian diplomat called for resuming the Yemeni-Yemeni political process to reach a settlement to the country's crisis.
Abdelatty said this settlement should be agreed upon and accepted by various Yemeni political factions, in a way that preserves the unity of Yemen and ends the existing humanitarian crisis.
He also highlighted the great importance of the security and stability of Yemen for the security of the entire region.
The foreign minister underlined the significance of ensuring the safety and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, given that this matter is directly linked to the Egyptian national security.
Abdelatty briefed Zindani on Egypt's efforts aimed at resuming the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, especially in light of the worsening humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave.
The two ministers tackled the rising tensions in the region amid the current Israeli-Iranian military conflict, where Abdelatty warned of the risks of dragging the Middle East into chaos, emphasizing the need to de-escalate the situation through political and diplomatic methods. (MENA)

The Hague Court Rejects India's Suspension of Indus Waters Treaty
By Ahmad El-Assasy The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague has issued a supplemental award reaffirming its jurisdiction over the dispute between India and Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). The tribunal concluded that India's unilateral attempt to suspend its participation in the treaty does not affect the ongoing arbitration proceedings. This ruling delivers a significant blow to New Delhi's legal stance, as it had claimed that the treaty was 'in abeyance' and the court had no authority to proceed. Treaty Cannot Be Unilaterally Suspended The Court emphasized that under Article XII(4) of the Indus Waters Treaty, the agreement remains legally binding on both parties unless mutually modified or terminated. It categorically rejected the idea that one country can withdraw or suspend its obligations under the treaty unilaterally. Legal experts say the ruling is a reaffirmation of the core principle of international law — pacta sunt servanda, or "agreements must be kept." Neutral Expert and Tribunal Both Remain Valid The PCA also clarified that both dispute resolution pathways under the treaty—the Neutral Expert and the Court of Arbitration—can proceed independently. India had argued that Pakistan's use of both mechanisms simultaneously violated the treaty. However, the tribunal ruled that once arbitration is initiated, its authority is established and cannot be overridden by such objections. Pakistan Welcomes the Decision Pakistan's Foreign Office welcomed the supplemental award, calling it a legal victory that strengthens the framework of the 1960 treaty. Islamabad confirmed that the hearings on the merits of the case—relating to India's construction of the Kishenganga and Ratle hydropower projects—were held in July 2024 and a decision is expected in due course. India Rejects the Ruling In contrast, India's Ministry of External Affairs rejected the court's decision, calling the tribunal 'illegally constituted.' It maintained that the treaty remains in abeyance and insisted that it does not recognize the PCA's jurisdiction in this matter. India has consistently argued that Pakistan's simultaneous recourse to both the Court and the Neutral Expert process created a procedural conflict under the treaty. A Broader Implication for Water Diplomacy This decision has wider implications beyond the India–Pakistan water dispute. It reaffirms the binding nature of international treaties and the authority of arbitration forums. Analysts view it as a victory for multilateralism and legal diplomacy in South Asia, particularly in a time of strained bilateral relations. 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 Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies 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

Pakistan welcomes supplemental award by Court of Arbitration
By Ahmad El-Assasy Pakistan has expressed strong approval of the supplemental award issued by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in the ongoing Indus Waters dispute. Released on Friday via the PCA's website, the decision confirms the tribunal's jurisdiction, stating that India's unilateral measures cannot undermine the authority of either the Court or the Neutral Expert in hearings initiated by Pakistan. Islamabad announced that the Court has explicitly affirmed its competence, rejecting India's attempts to impede the arbitration process. The PCA's award clarified that India's effort to unilaterally suspend the Indus Waters Treaty does not affect the tribunal's mandate. Pakistan is now awaiting the Court's forthcoming decision on the merits, expected in due course after the hearings held at the Peace Palace in The Hague in July 2024. Emphasizing the high importance of reinstating constructive communication, Islamabad underscored the necessity for India and Pakistan to return to meaningful dialogue, especially regarding the implementation of the Treaty. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, on June 24, 2025, reiterated Pakistan's readiness to engage in bilateral discussions with India, covering all unresolved matters—including Jammu & Kashmir, water, trade, and terrorism. 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 Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies 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
