Egypt warns of failure to implement Sharm El-Sheikh peace agreement

Egypt’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Osama Abdel Khaleq warned against the failure to implement the provisions of the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Agreement, which aims to maintain the ceasefire and ensure stability in the region. Speaking at a UN Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East, Abdel Khaleq condemned the Israeli Knesset’s approval of two bills asserting so-called Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, describing the move as a blatant violation of international law. He welcomed the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice, which reaffirmed that international law prohibits any attempts to displace or starve the Palestinian people. Abdel Khaleq stressed that the ruling represents a significant step in supporting legitimate Palestinian rights. Ambassador Abdel Khaleq stressed the importance of enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable rights, topped by the right to establish an independent state. He underlined that achieving lasting peace in the region requires Israel’s withdrawal from all occupied Arab territories. He also reaffirmed Egypt’s solidarity with Syria and Lebanon in safeguarding their legitimate rights and territorial integrity.

Spotlight on GEM: A Gift from Egypt to the World – PM in MENA article

CAIRO, Oct 24 (MENA) – With the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) set to officially open on November 1, 2025, Egypt is preparing to welcome world leaders and distinguished guests to the monumental cultural and civilizational landmark, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said. Overlooking the Pyramids of Giza, the GEM is considered Egypt’s gift to the world and a symbol of the country’s rich heritage. Its inauguration is expected to mark a historic milestone. Describing the GEM as a gift to the world is not an exaggeration, Madbouli said, noting that the legacy of ancient Egyptian civilization is recognized as global heritage under UNESCO’s cultural and natural heritage standards. The announcement coincides with the opening of the “Treasures of the Pharaohs” exhibition in Rome, Italy, underscoring the universal value of Egypt’s heritage. The GEM will not only serve as a museum and archaeological destination but also as a center demonstrating Egypt’s national determination. Its collection includes an unparalleled number of ancient Egyptian artifacts, a grand entrance hall, and state-of-the-art exhibition spaces. The museum opens nearly two years after its foundation stone was laid, marking a key achievement for the country in realizing major national projects. As the GEM prepares to receive heads of state and dignitaries, Madbouly highlighted that Egypt aims to once again impress the world, following high-profile cultural events such as the Pharaohs’ Golden Parade in April 2021 and the reopening of the 3,000-year-old Avenue of the Sphinxes in Luxor in November 2021. While authorities are responsible for organizing the inauguration, every Egyptian citizen plays a part in presenting the country’s ancient civilization to the world, Madbouly said. The prime minister welcomed all guests to Egypt, underlining the country’s rich history, cultural treasures, and its leading role as a center of global heritage. (MENA)
