Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reiterated that both the Gulf and the Egyptian national securities are intertwined, noting the importance of joint coordination among all Arab countries to face the challenges in the region.

Sisi met in Cairo with the Speaker of the Kuwaiti National Assembly, Marzouq al-Ghanim, in the presence of Speaker Hanafi Jabali, and Kuwait's Ambassador to Cairo Muhammad al-Thuwaikh.

During the meeting, Sisi stressed the special Egyptian-Kuwaiti relationship and Cairo's keenness to continue developing cooperation between the two countries in all fields and at various levels.

The President emphasized the importance of continuing close coordination between all Arab states to confront the challenges that the region is facing in light of the vast capabilities that the Arab countries have.

According to a presidential statement, the Speaker stressed his country's pride in its close historical relationship with Egypt and expressed appreciation for Cairo's role in maintaining the security and stability of Kuwait and the Arab world at large.

Palestinian Officials Say Israeli Settlers Torched Cars in Ramallah

Palestinian Officials Say Israeli Settlers Torched Cars in Ramallah

Palestinian officials said Israeli settlers were behind an attack in which several cars were torched overnight just a few kilometers (miles) away from the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

No one was wounded in the attack overnight into Monday in Al-Bireh, a city adjacent to Ramallah, where the Western-backed Palestinian Authority is headquartered. An Associated Press reporter counted 18 burned-out cars.

Settler attacks on Palestinians and their property have surged since the outbreak of the war in Gaza, which was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack into Israel.

But attacks in and around Ramallah, home to senior Palestinian officials and international missions, are rare.

The Palestinian Authority, which administers population centers in the territory, condemned the attack. Israeli police, who handle law enforcement matters involving settlers in the West Bank, said they were investigating.

Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, and the Palestinians want it to form the main part of their future state. The territory’s 3 million Palestinians live under seemingly open-ended Israeli military rule, with the Palestinian Authority exercising limited autonomy over less than half of the territory.

Over 500,000 Jewish settlers with Israeli citizenship live in scores of settlements across the West Bank, which most of the international community considers illegal.
