2 official holidays for private sector marking Islamic New Year, June 30 Revolution
Holiday - file CAIRO - 24 June 2025: As part of the state's commitment to standardizing official holiday dates for all workers in various sectors whenever possible, and to achieve the social and national objectives of allocating holidays for national and religious occasions, the Ministry of Labor announced two paid official holidays for private sector workers over the next two weeks, marking the Islamic New Year and the 12th anniversary of the June 30 Revolution. 1- First holiday: Thursday, June 26, 2025, will be an official paid holiday for private sector workers, marking the Islamic New Year 1447, corresponding to the first day of Muharram, according to the Sharia ruling announced by the relevant authorities. 2- Second holiday: Thursday, July 3, 2025, will be an official paid holiday, instead of Monday, June 30, to mark the anniversary of the June 30 Revolution, a milestone in Egypt's modern history. This falls within the framework of the state's general policy, adopted years ago, regarding the postponement of official holidays to the weekend. This ensures regular work within institutions, on the one hand, and enables workers to make optimal use of consecutive rest periods, on the other. This leave is granted to employees subject to the provisions of Labor Law No. 12 of 2003. Employers may employ workers on these two days if the nature of the work so requires, provided that the worker is paid double pay (twice their wage) for each day, in addition to their basic wage. This is in accordance with the provisions of the law regulating work on official holidays. The Ministry of Labor issued two circulars, Nos. 11 and 12 of 2025, containing clear directives regarding the regulation of the two holidays. It also requested heads of central departments and directors of governorate directorates to disseminate the contents of the decision at workplaces and production sites and to take the necessary measures to ensure that establishments comply with it.

Egypt welcomes ILO resolution granting observer status to Palestine
Egyptian and Palestinian flags CAIRO – June 7, 2025: Egypt's Ministry of Labor has welcomed the decision by the General Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO) to grant the State of Palestine observer status within the organization. The resolution was overwhelmingly adopted, with 386 votes in favor, 15 against, and 42 abstentions, marking a significant step forward for Palestinian representation in international labor affairs. Egyptian Minister of Labor Mohammad Jubran extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Palestinian delegation—comprising representatives of the government, employers, and workers—on this historic milestone. He praised the ILO's decision to grant Palestine "non-member observer state" status, describing it as a just and overdue recognition. The resolution was adopted during a plenary session on Friday, June 6, as part of the 113th Session of the International Labor Conference, held in Geneva from June 2 to 13, 2025. Minister Jubran delivered Egypt's official statement in support of the resolution during the plenary session on Thursday at the United Nations Palace. In his remarks, he welcomed the adoption of what he described as a 'historic resolution,' noting its alignment with the United Nations General Assembly resolution of May 10, 2024. That resolution affirmed Palestine's eligibility for full UN membership under Article 4 of the UN Charter and called for its admission to the United Nations and its specialized agencies. The ILO's 352nd Governing Body session subsequently adopted a resolution to amend Palestine's status, enabling its delegation to participate more fully in the organization's meetings and activities. Minister Jubran stated: 'This resolution embodies a historical truth and a recognition of the rights of a people who have suffered for more than seven decades under foreign occupation, blockade, oppression, and the killing of women and children.
