Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday appealed to his American counterpart, Donald Trump, to “end the war in the region” as the Israeli-American offensive on Iran entered its second month, Anadolu reports.

Al-Sisi made the remarks during his speech at the ninth edition of the Egypt International Energy Conference and Exhibition (EGYPS 2026) in Cairo, held from March 30 until April 1 amid a global energy crisis caused by the ongoing conflict.

“I say to President Trump, no one but you can stop the war in our region,” al-Sisi said.

“I speak to you in the name of humanity and in the name of peace-loving people… Please help us stop the war. You are capable of doing so.”

He warned of serious repercussions for regional countries, saying the crisis has caused energy shortages and rising prices, which will affect fuel, fertilizers, and agricultural products.

Al-Sisi also stressed the importance of unifying efforts to end the war.

The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively disrupted since early March, with around 20 million barrels of oil passing through it daily, representing roughly 20% of global supply. Its closure has pushed oil prices higher and raised fears of prolonged economic disruption.

The region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched an air offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people so far, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.

Lebanese government calls the killings a ‘blatant war crime’ while Israel says primary target was a Hezbollah ‘terrorist’

A funeral has taken place in Lebanon for three journalists killed by an Israeli strike on Saturday, after the Lebanese government called the killings a “blatant war crime”.

Ali Shoeib, of the Hezbollah-owned al-Manar television station, and Fatima Ftouni and her brother and cameraman Mohammed Ftouni, of the pro-Hezbollah outlet al-Mayadeen, were killed in the strike targeting their car.

Israel claimed the attack shortly afterwards, saying the target was Shoeib, whom it accused of being a Hezbollah “terrorist” in an intelligence unit who had reported on the locations of Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military provided no further evidence to support the claim and made no comment on the deaths of the other journalists.

Hundreds of people attended the funeral, where the bodies of Shoeib and Fatima Ftouni were draped in their channels’ logos and with bouquets of flowers.

…

Shoeib was a well-known war correspondent in Lebanon, where he reported for al-Manar for nearly three decades. His death was met with a wave of condolences from audiences and journalists in Lebanon, many of whom said he was considered a mentor figure in Lebanese journalism.

Fatima Ftouni had also been reporting from the frontlines of the Israel-Hezbollah war in recent days, filming in front of battles in the town of Taybeh, south Lebanon. Her own family had been killed in Israeli strikes weeks earlier.

Eighteen months earlier, she and her colleagues were struck by an Israeli bomb while they were sleeping in a hotel in south Lebanon. Ftouni survived but two of her colleagues did not. Commenting on the deaths of her colleagues at the time, Ftouni said: “It is the silence of the international community that let this happen.”

Four Palestinians, including a child, were killed and another wounded Friday by Israeli gunfire and shelling that targeted areas in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, in a new violation of a ceasefire in force since Oct. 10,  Anadolu reports.

Ismail Aql, 12, was killed after Israeli forces opened fire near the Khalifa School in northern Gaza, which shelters displaced civilians.

Another Palestinian, Ayman Ahmed al-Nabih, 54, was killed in Israeli shelling that targeted the Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. His body was transferred to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city center.

Witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli artillery shelled the area where al-Nabih was present, which lies outside the Israeli army’s deployment zone under the ceasefire agreement.

In the Tuffah neighborhood, 22-year-old Rizq Iyad al-Sharafa was wounded when an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of civilians near the al-Sharafa roundabout, east of al-Mahatta Park, according to a medical source.

Earlier, Abdelwahab Asaad Qanbour, 32, was killed in Israeli shelling that targeted the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. His body was also transferred to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Witnesses said an Israeli drone struck Qanbour while he was near Salah al-Din Street in Shujaiya, in an area outside Israeli troop deployment zones.

Since the Gaza ceasefire took effect, Israeli violations involving shelling and gunfire have killed 636 Palestinians and wounded 1,704 others as of Thursday, according to Palestinian sources.

The deal was reached after two years of a genocidal war launched by Israel on Oct. 8, 2023. The war left more than 72,000 Palestinians dead and 172,000 wounded, while destroying roughly 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
