BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Egypt and China emphasized the importance of consolidating the ceasefire agreement between "Israel" and Iran, while urging the resumption of diplomatic efforts to address the crisis through peaceful means.

This stance was affirmed during a meeting on Thursday between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Chinese Premier Li Qiang, attended by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli along with ministers and senior officials from both sides.

The two countries jointly underscored the urgent need to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, ensure the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, and work toward a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian struggle.

This comes after Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty launched a wide-reaching diplomatic initiative aimed at consolidating a ceasefire between Iran and the Israeli occupation and reviving stalled negotiations surrounding Gaza.

In a series of high-level phone calls over the weekend, Abdelatty engaged with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, US Special Presidential Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to emphasiz "the urgent need for coordinated regional and international efforts to solidify the Iran-Israel ceasefire and resume diplomatic negotiations toward a sustainable resolution of the Iranian nuclear file."

Li emphasized that China highly values its strong ties with Egypt, which are rooted in a long-standing strategic partnership, mutual respect, and shared interests.

He also praised the steady growth in bilateral relations and highlighted the close coordination between Cairo and Beijing on regional and international issues. He commended Egypt’s pivotal role as a pillar of stability in the Middle East.

On the other hand, el-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to deepening cooperation with China across multiple areas of mutual interest, according to the spokesman. He highlighted Egypt’s eagerness to attract more Chinese investments, particularly in renewable energy, electric vehicle manufacturing, and tourism.

The Egyptian president also expressed appreciation for the contributions of Chinese companies to Egypt’s development initiatives. He stressed the importance of expanding cooperation in manufacturing, development, and debt swap mechanisms.

Upcoming diplomatic milestones

Both leaders noted that Egypt and China will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2026, a milestone reflecting the enduring strength of their bilateral relationship.

El-Shennawy added that both sides exchanged views on regional and international developments, reaffirming their shared commitment to stability, peace, and joint coordination on global challenges.
