Israeli soldiers killed by Egyptian policeman
An Egyptian policeman crossed the border and killed three Israeli soldiers in a rare instance of deadly violence on the frontier. The incident began with the killing of two soldiers at a guard post in the Negev Desert, followed by a manhunt that resulted in the death of a third soldier and the gunman. The Israeli military is investigating the incident in cooperation with the Egyptian army. The motivation remains unclear, with possibilities ranging from drug smuggling to militant activity. This is one of the most serious incidents on the Israel-Egypt border in decades.

Gazans wary of new Israeli war, continued siege
Palestinians in Gaza are concerned about potential escalation between Hamas and Israel, amidst ongoing air strikes and a continued siege. Despite an Egyptian-brokered truce, tensions remain high, with fears of civilian casualties. Gaza residents express frustration with the siege and the harsh living conditions, calling for its end. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu faces criticism for his handling of the conflict as he campaigns for re-election. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is exacerbated by the blockade, with over 200 Palestinian protesters killed in the past year. Egyptian mediation efforts are appreciated but seen as insufficient.

Sky-high inflation, empty shelves: will Egypt emerge from the economic crisis?
Egypt is grappling with a severe economic crisis marked by over 20% inflation and a significant devaluation of the Egyptian pound. The crisis has led to empty supermarket shelves and skyrocketing prices for basic goods. President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi attributes the economic woes to the Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic, but analysts argue that Egypt's economic model, reliant on short-term bonds and loan-financed mega-projects, is unsustainable. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has provided a $3 billion loan with conditions including currency flexibility and privatization of state enterprises. However, there is skepticism about whether these reforms will be effective, as previous IMF-mandated reforms have not improved the situation. The article highlights the tension between the need for economic reform and the political stability provided by Sisi's mega-projects.

Inside Egypt’s secret scheme to detain and deport thousands of Sudanese refugees
An investigation reveals that thousands of Sudanese refugees in Egypt are being detained in secret military bases and deported back to Sudan without the opportunity to claim asylum, violating international refugee conventions. The Egyptian military is implicated in these actions, which are occurring amid a worsening conflict in Sudan and a controversial EU funding deal aimed at curbing migration. Refugees face dire conditions in detention, and the deportations are part of a systematic effort to deny asylum rights. The EU's involvement raises concerns about complicity in human rights abuses.

The world came through. Now Egypt must hold up its end of the bargain
Egypt's economy has been deteriorating due to corruption and mismanagement under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The IMF has provided a $3bn package with conditions aimed at reducing the military's economic influence and increasing transparency. The military's extensive control over various sectors has deterred private investment and accountability. The IMF deal seeks to address these issues, but its success depends on strict compliance and oversight by major shareholders. The article highlights the need for significant reforms to stabilize Egypt's economy and reduce the military's dominance.

Egypt’s military dominates 10 years after revolution
A decade after the Egyptian revolution, the military continues to exert significant influence over the country's politics and business, with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi consolidating power by placing loyalists in key military and intelligence positions. Despite the military's historical popularity and role in national pride, el-Sisi has taken steps to prevent any potential threats to his rule from within the military, including reshuffling over 130 high-ranking officials since 2017. The military's business interests have grown, and the 2019 constitution acknowledges its supra-constitutional status, allowing it to intervene in politics independently.

Seventeen hostages, including 13 Israelis and 4 Thai citizens, were released by Hamas and returned to Israel, where they were taken to hospitals and reunited with their families. The release followed mediation by Qatari and Egyptian officials amid a fragile four-day ceasefire. Israel freed 39 Palestinian prisoners in exchange. The ceasefire allowed increased humanitarian aid into Gaza, with the U.N. delivering significant supplies. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the need to continue operations until all hostages are freed. U.S. President Joe Biden and other international figures were involved in monitoring the situation.

Day-long ceasefire agreed in Sudan after intense international mediation
Sudan's military commanders agreed to a 24-hour ceasefire following intense international diplomatic efforts. The ceasefire, starting at 6pm, aims to halt four days of fighting between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum. The conflict began after failed talks on transitioning to civilian rule. The RSF leader, Gen Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, announced the ceasefire after discussions with US Secretary General Antony Blinken. Egypt and the UAE are also mediating, though the UAE's neutrality is questioned due to alleged arms supplies to the RSF. The conflict has resulted in at least 185 deaths and significant damage to Khartoum, with civilians trapped and running low on supplies.

Gaza reconstruction: The new Israeli strategy
The Israeli military has concluded that the blockade of Gaza has been counterproductive, leading to a new strategy focused on conflict management rather than negotiating an independent Palestinian state. This approach includes greater freedom of movement and autonomy for Palestinians under strict Israeli and international surveillance. The plan involves lifting some restrictions on goods entering Gaza and supporting the Palestinian unity government. However, the strategy is criticized for its dystopian controls and is seen as a temporary measure rather than a long-term solution.

A Mysterious Construction Project Takes Shape in Egypt, Near Gaza
New satellite imagery reveals construction activity south of the Rafah border crossing in Egypt, near Gaza, which began around February 5. The Egyptian government has not commented on the purpose of the construction, but it is speculated that it may be used to house displaced Gazans. Egypt has fortified its border and declined to take in Gazans displaced by the war between Israel and Hamas. Over 100,000 displaced Palestinians are estimated to be near the border in Rafah. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has been conducting operations against Hamas in Gaza, including a raid on Nasser hospital, which has been criticized internationally. The U.S. military has also carried out a cyberattack against an Iranian ship suspected of aiding Houthi rebels in Yemen.
