The bylaws for Egypt’s first ever asylum law were finally issued on Monday — a full year after the legal deadline for their completion. They lay out a nine month deadline for a new state committee to replace the UNHCR’s role in handling refugee application cases — a rush that a lawyer cautioned could leave refugees exposed and vulnerable.

As Egypt’s family law reforms move through Parliament, Al-Azhar and the state remain at odds over verbal divorce — a practice critics say deprives women of alimony and child support. Though the govt bill doesn’t outlaw the practice, tensions persist over the independence and influence Al-Azhar continues to wield on the matter. https://t.co/HlFbwL5dY0

In case you're wondering why Israel targeted Amal Khalil and is preventing the Red Cross from rescuing her, it's because Israel treats journalism as a crime.

Amal has been tirelessly and lovingly covering communities impacted by war, occupation, and displacement for decades.

Trump has finally announced a ceasefire in Lebanon, but regional officials say the truce was delayed by failed attempts to secure face-saving concessions from the Lebanese to cushion the blow a ceasefire represents to Israel.

Despite attempts to peel off the prospect of a ceasefire in Lebanon from US-Iran talks, diplomatic sources say Hezbollah and Iran are in the driving seat. How long they maintain leverage is a litmus test to the viability of the US and Israel’s plan to create a “New Middle East.” https://t.co/nJx2YEjUfL

For Iran Israel’s massive escalation in Lebanon is indication that Trump cannot be trusted. Even before talks started Tehran believes he has gone back on one item of ceasefire agreement. In addition it has shown that US cannot control Israel. That changes the context, goals and expectations for a potential agreement in Islamabad.

The state plans to raise subsidized gas prices for fertilizer producers, sources tell Mada. In return, it will pay more for fertilizer and allow higher exports. Critics say the plan could harm the local agriculture sector and strain energy supplies.

Israel passed a law mandating the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners who are convicted of carrying out fatal attacks killing Israelis, barring any possibility for pardon or commutation. The motive for the law’s passage was to target Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip, particularly 300 currently detained who are classified as “elite fighters,” according to the head of Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights.

Israeli forces control most of the outskirts of Khiam and Taybeh, key towns on strategic hilltops near Lebanon’s southeastern border, said a former local official and a security source. But fierce pushback from Hezbollah has stymied their push toward the town centers.

Following reports that Iranian Kurds plan to attack the Iranian government, Mada Masr spoke to Turkish, Iranian and Kurdish officials who say the move could draw Turkey into the conflict on Iran’s side. But a Turkey-Iran alliance ​​wouldn’t be without its challenges.

The government has announced plans to mitigate the annual summer energy deficit by enlarging the role of renewables in the national energy grid. But given the limits on how quickly renewable energy can be expanded, it is likely that it will have to resort to the same costly solution it adopted last year to avert blackouts.

قبل يوم من وصول درجات الحرارة إلى 30 درجة مئوية، وبينما لم نغادر فصل الشتاء بعد، اجتمع الرئيس عبد الفتاح السيسي مع وزير الكهرباء والطاقة المُتجددة، محمود عصمت، أمس، للاطلاع على خطة الوزارة لتأمين الكهرباء المطلوبة، حيث سيشهد الصيف توجهًا جديدًا نحو التوسع في الاعتماد على الطاقة المتجددة. تحدث «مدى مصر» إلى عدد من المصادر لفهم ما يقيّد التوسع في الاعتماد على الطاقة المتجددة على المدى القريب. https://t.co/Lv75Xa1Pwd

This is what real journalism looks like. @suzanHaidamous has risked her life—literally—to report the truth, including being only meters away in Dahiyeh when Hezbollah walkie-talkies exploded. She, and other international reporters at The Washington Post like her, put their lives on the line to document history as it happens and to tell the world the truth.
International reporters are the frontline of truth and the backbone of our historical record. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost

تعتمد مصر بشكل غير مسبوق منذ 2019 على استيراد الغاز الطبيعي، لتصل فاتورة الاستيراد إلى مستويات تاريخية مُسجلة 6.3 مليار دولار خلال الأشهر التسعة الأولى من 2025. وفيما تعتمد مصر حاليًا في مصادرها للغاز على الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل، أعلنت وزارة البترول، في بيان أمس، عن توقيع مذكرة تفاهم مع شركة قطر للطاقة، في محاولة لتنويع وارداتها من الغاز الطبيعي. https://t.co/qtFpJcT7Wc

منذ بداية الحرب على غزة، شهدت أسعار البضائع ارتفاعًا غير مسبوق، ما تتسبب في تجويع الملايين بالقطاع. وفي ظل الفوضى وتحت أعين الاحتلال، حصدت شبكة من رجال الأعمال أرباحًا تتجاوز المليار دولار عبر إدخال البضائع إلى القطاع تحت غطاء المساعدات. تعرفوا على ملوك المجاعة. https://t.co/VVPBSB8Xsv

Since the war on Gaza began, prices have soared in markets and hunger has ravaged the strip's people. Behind the chaos and under Israel's eyes, a group of businessmen have raked in over US$1 billion by bringing commercial goods masked as aid into Gaza. Meet the kings of famine. https://t.co/oi0zbr9YYc
