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

Israeli Airstrikes Pound Southern Lebanon: Over 20 Raids Shake Nabatieh
Ahmed Emam Israeli warplanes launched a series of intense airstrikes on southern Lebanon late Friday, in what has been described as one of the heaviest escalations in recent weeks. According to Al-Qahera News, the raids struck multiple locations, with the heaviest bombardment focused on the skies over Nabatieh, as well as targets both south and north of the Litani River. Sanjab reported that the assault involved no fewer than 20 airstrikes, suggesting a large-scale offensive. The strikes created a fierce belt of fire across parts of the Nabatieh district, triggering successive explosions that echoed across southern Lebanon and were heard as far away as the cities of Tyre and Sidon and surrounding regions. Sanjab added that new explosions were heard following the initial wave of attacks, indicating either continued bombardment or secondary strikes on additional targets, leaving the security situation in southern Lebanon highly tense and on alert. There were no immediate reports of casualties or material damage. --- Would you like it shorter, longer, or styled differently (e.g. more formal, simplified)? 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

UN Warns of Repeated Attacks on Gaza's Health Facilities Amid Intensified Israeli Offensive
Ahmed Emam The United Nations has raised the alarm over repeated attacks targeting health facilities in Gaza, warning that Palestinians are facing widespread Israeli violations. The warning comes amid what has been described as an unprecedented Israeli military escalation in northern Gaza and the eastern areas of Khan Younis in the south, resulting in extensive destruction of residential neighborhoods. Israeli military operations in Gaza continue to escalate. The areas of Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza and the eastern parts of Khan Younis have become the epicenters of intense fighting in recent weeks, witnessing heavy bombardments and ongoing ground incursions. The Israeli army has reportedly deployed explosive-laden robots in Jabalia town, sending them into densely populated areas at short intervals as part of complex raid operations. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes have carried out severe airstrikes on civilian homes, forcing residents to flee their houses and move westward toward Gaza City, after receiving repeated evacuation warnings through direct phone calls from Israeli forces. In Khan Younis, particularly in the Ma'an and Sheikh Nasser neighborhoods, massive explosions have been reported due to intense artillery shelling. The Israeli ground invasion is ongoing in the eastern towns of the province. Nearly all these areas have suffered systematic bombardment and destruction, with estimates indicating that more than 90% of eastern Khan Younis has been almost completely demolished. Areas such as Baten Al-Sameen are currently under further bombardment and bulldozing operations. The latest developments underscore growing concerns among international organizations over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. 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
