    By: Web Desk

    Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has underscored the need for the swift implementation of both the Gaza ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm el-Sheikh last October and the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in Switzerland last month, Al Jazeera reported.

    Sisi said any attempt to undermine both Gaza and the Iran ceasefire deal had to be prevented.

    The Egyptian president revealed that his country had lost more than $10 billion in revenue from the Suez Canal as a result of Houthi attacks on vessels transiting the Bab al-Mandeb strait in the Red Sea.

    Israel's military told AFP it was looking into the details of the raid.

    The charity declined to comment on the closure.

    Israeli soldiers shoot dead two Palestinian teens in West Bank

    By: Reuters

    Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in the occupied West Bank on Monday, Palestinian officials said, while the Israeli military said the two had attacked a nearby Jewish settlement with fire bombs and burning tyres.

    There was no immediate further comment from Palestinian officials about the fatal incident in the area of Beit Ummar. Official Palestinian news agency WAFA said the teens were aged 15 and 19 and a relative confirmed their ages to Reuters.

    Reuters was unable to independently verify the Israeli military's account. It said its forces had shot at three people who were throwing fire bombs and burning tyres near the settlement Karmei Tzur.

    One of the three was wounded and two killed, the military said. WAFA said the third person was hospitalised in a stable condition. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said he is 15 years old.

    Israeli troops carry out frequent raids in the West Bank and have tightened movement restrictions in recent months on Palestinian villages that sit near settlements.

    UN bodies and most countries view Israel's settlements as illegal under international law and a primary obstacle to Palestinian statehood. Israel rejects this, viewing the territory as disputed rather than occupied and saying a Jewish presence has existed there for thousands of years.

    Attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and their villages have also risen sharply. In incidents involving settlers and the military, at least 57 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the year, according to UN data.

    Palestinians have also carried out attacks on Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank, at least one of them deadly in 2026, according to Israel's Shin Bet domestic security service.

    Pakistan and other Muslim states expressed solidarity with Palestinians on Sunday during the Fourth Consultative Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye in Cairo.

    Reaffirming the centrality of the Palestinian cause to the achievement of peace, security, and stability in the Middle East, the ministers underscored that the Palestinian cause remains at the heart of efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region and constitutes a central pillar for the realisation of a stable and secure regional order.

    In this regard, particular attention was devoted to the humanitarian and political situation in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem under occupation.

    The ministers reiterated their support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State on the basis of the 4 June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as an indispensable foundation for achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions.
