Occupied Jerusalem, SANA-Palestinian Foreign Ministry called on the international community Sunday to take urgent deterrent measures to halt the dangerous escalation perpetrated by Israeli occupation forces against the components of the Palestinian state, warning of the repercussions of continuing crimes and violations on security and stability in the region.

The Foreign Ministry warned in a statement today, reported by the Wafa Agency, of the escalation of crimes committed against the Gaza Strip, which include genocide, starvation, and forced displacement, in light of attempts to separate the Strip from the West Bank through settlement expansion, paving bypass roads, and intensifying what is known as pastoral settlement, which constitutes the violation of more than 60 percent of the occupied West Bank lands.

The Foreign Ministry indicated that the occupation authorities continue to implement unilateral measures aimed at imposing a new reality on the ground, including the installation of iron gates at the entrances to Palestinian cities, villages, and camps, and the bulldozing of hundreds of dunams of Palestinian land in the Tulkarm Governorate, under the pretext of so-called “security.”

It called for intensifying international sanctions and imposing binding legal measures on the occupying government, in accordance with international law, to compel it to halt its crimes and end all unilateral steps that threaten to escalate the conflict and undermine the prospects for a just and comprehensive peace.

Islamabad – SANA

At least 97 people have been killed and more than 4.4 million others affected after massive floods swept through Punjab province in eastern Pakistan, marking one of the country’s worst natural disasters this year.

According to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority, the floods—triggered by rising waters in the Ravi, Sutlej, and Chenab rivers—destroyed over 4,500 villages and forced the evacuation of some 2.45 million people to safer areas as large-scale rescue and relief operations continue.

Authorities have set up 396 relief camps and evacuated nearly 1.9 million livestock in an effort to mitigate agricultural and economic losses.

The disaster comes amid Pakistan’s annual monsoon season, which runs from June to September and regularly causes devastating floods, particularly in areas with weak infrastructure. Officials continue to work to contain the damage, while international appeals grow for urgent humanitarian aid to assist those affected.

Cairo, SANA  

Egypt has renewed its call for a Middle East free of nuclear weapons, stressing the need to ensure the peaceful nature of regional nuclear programs and full compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The statement comes as preparations are underway for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference, scheduled to take place in Vienna from September 15 to 19.

In an official statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry emphasized the importance of all regional states joining the NPT without exception and subjecting their nuclear facilities to IAEA comprehensive safeguards agreements. Such measures, Cairo said, would strengthen transparency and reduce regional tensions.

Describing the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free Middle East as a “strategic goal” that reflects Egypt’s longstanding commitment, the ministry recalled Cairo’s 1974 initiative at the United Nations to create a nuclear-free zone in the region.

Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aaty held talks with his counterparts in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan on coordinating efforts to address regional challenges and bolster security and stability.

This move comes as the international community prepares to deliberate sensitive nuclear security issues, with Egypt seeking to rally support for its initiative and push for tangible progress toward a nuclear-free Middle East.
