“Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed has been the godfather of Egypt his entire life,” @NaguibSawiris tells me. “Egypt, thank God, we finally did what we should have done day one.” WATCH: https://t.co/0Z7Kp92MNc

.@Wsj reports that the UAE attacked Iran from the outset of the war and throughout.

"The UAE carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iran beginning in the early days of the war and continuing through the day after the April cease-fire was announced."

Egypt’s debt crisis isn’t just an economic problem—it’s a ticking time bomb that could unravel the entire political order if ignored. 💥💣

I didn't believe this quote could be accurate but I've just looked it up and - staggeringly - she actually did say this.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel spent 2 years running an elaborate lobbying campaign to have Hamas added to this UN sex-abuse blacklist, making the case that the UN designation was thorough, evidence-based and widely respected, which was why it was so important for them to get Hamas added to it.

Now that Israel has been added to it, they say the whole thing is a sham.

@qunfuz2 Looking forward to reading your new book

[Maged Mandour @MagedMandour]

Thank you so much @qunfuz2. I'm a huge fan!

[Robin Yassin-Kassab @qunfuz2]

I strongly recommend Maged Mandour's "Egypt Under Sisi" - a grim and important account of the general's counter-revolutionary, hyper-authoritarian military state, one likely to eventually collapse in extreme violence.

While Europe still debates whether to end its Association Agreement with Israel, as if there is much to debate, Israel continues to happily commit war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

This was South Lebanon today.

First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime.

Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.

The government is once again set to direct the majority of its off-budget borrowing toward the National Authority for Tunnels, even though the entity has defaulted before. The authority’s borrowing is expected to be denominated in foreign currency which raises overall fiscal vulnerability to external shocks.

Alleged US airstrike. Enough said

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

"The people here want answers as to why this happened."

@DominicWaghorn reports live from the cemetery in Minab where more than 100 women and children killed in an alleged U.S. airstrike have been buried. He is the first international journalist to visit the Iranian city.
