Elon Musk Contacts Lebanese President, Expresses Interest in Telecom and Internet Investment
Taarek Refaat Lebanese President General Joseph Aoun received a phone call from Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, during which Musk expressed strong interest in Lebanon's telecommunications and internet sectors. According to an official statement from the Lebanese Presidency, Musk also conveyed a desire for his companies to have a presence in Lebanon—an initiative President Aoun welcomed, affirming the government's readiness to offer all possible facilitations within the framework of Lebanese laws and regulations. At the conclusion of the call, President Aoun extended an invitation to Musk to visit Beirut, which the billionaire entrepreneur graciously accepted in principle, promising to make the trip at the first suitable opportunity. The conversation comes at a time when Lebanon is actively seeking ways to emerge from its prolonged economic crisis. With the recent lifting of sanctions on Syria, new regional economic corridors are expected to open, particularly around reconstruction and infrastructure development—offering Lebanon potential roles and benefits, especially in sectors like energy, logistics, and technology. Musk's outreach, if followed by concrete action, could signal a new chapter in Lebanon's efforts to attract high-profile international investors. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 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

Counterfeit Imported Gold Bars Seized in Egyptian Markets
Waleed Farouk In a striking incident that highlights the risks of trading in unverified precious metals, Egyptian security authorities—working in coordination with several local gold traders—have apprehended an individual in possession of counterfeit imported gold bars that he attempted to pass off as genuine within the local market. The incident took place when the suspect approached a gold jewelry shop in Nasr City, Cairo, offering a batch of gold bars that appeared, at first glance, to meet standard specifications in both weight and appearance. The man claimed the bars had been imported from abroad. However, during a routine technical examination using precision measurement and calibration tools, the dealer discovered that the bars were in fact made of copper, coated with a thin layer of gold to mimic the look of solid gold. Upon confirming the fraud, the dealer immediately alerted the authorities, who arrived at the scene promptly. A formal police report was filed, and the suspect was taken to the police station for questioning and legal proceedings. Commenting on the matter, Abdel Aal Salima, Deputy Head of the Gold Division at the Kafr El-Sheikh Chamber of Commerce, told "Eyar 24" that buyers and traders must exercise extreme caution when dealing with unverified sources, especially amid a rise in fraud cases driven by soaring gold prices both globally and locally. He further called for stricter customs and technical oversight on imported precious metals—particularly gold bars—to ensure compliance with standards set by Egypt's Assay and Weights Authority. A security source confirmed that investigations are ongoing, with efforts underway to identify other members of a potential network behind the smuggling of these fake bars into the market. Preliminary findings suggest a coordinated attempt to flood the Egyptian gold market with substandard products, aiming to exploit the growing demand for gold as a safe investment haven. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 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

Tiny Love Stories: ‘Receding Hairline and Inner Critic on Full Blast'
'A Memorable Weekend Adventure' People do crazy things for love. That may explain how I ended up on a Pennsylvania back road with a lamb peeing in my Subaru. It was five days before Eid al-Adha and 11 months after our first date. We had picked up the animal from a local sheep farm and were delivering it to a nearby butcher — a memorable weekend adventure. He's a Tunisian merchant's son who likes hosting parties and cooking with farm-fresh ingredients. I'm an American farmer's daughter who knows how to get things done. Just like lamb and couscous, some things (and people) belong together. — Jessica Hibbard Embracing My Reflection Every morning, I look in the mirror and, begrudgingly, decide to like myself. Again. With my impatience, bulging stomach, receding hairline and inner critic on full blast, it's no small feat. My love story? It's with me. It's not a kiss-my-reflection kind of connection. Rather, it's a messy, clumsy journey of learning to accept the quirky, sweet, obnoxious, stubborn guy staring back. Some days it's a shrug. Others, a small smile. But I keep at it. Because one day, I just might find self-love that will stick. — Michael Sussal Peace After Pain When I arrived in the world, my older sister greeted me with a loving hug. Separated by 21 months, she taught me how to do everything from writing my name to riding a bike. The first sibling to navigate adolescence, she was often frustrated, uncomfortable and restless. I admired her but wanted to be nothing like her. I always knew she held a private pain. At 45, my sibling courageously transitioned. I now have an older brother who is finally happy, whole and content. And when I visited him recently in Portugal, he greeted me with the same loving hug. — Linda Bardere The Right Fit We made plans to meet at a mega furniture store in Omaha to shop for a new bed. I arrived first, wandering the aisles, testing mattresses. 'Can I help you find something?' the saleswoman asked just as I looked up and saw my fiancé descending the escalator. Her eyes followed mine. 'Oh, I can see you've already found it,' she said. Yes. At the age of 55, I certainly had. — Eileen Davis See more Tiny Love Stories at Submit yours at Want more from Modern Love?
