Antonio Guterres · RafahU.N. Secretary General António Guterres visited Egypt’s border with Gaza on Saturday, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to send forces into the packed city of Rafah near that border, despite warnings from U.S. and world leaders. The U.N. chief reiterated pleas for a cease-fire in Gaza, after the U.N. Security Council failed to pass a U.S.-sponsored resolution on Friday that called for a cease-fire. Russia and China vetoed the measure, which marked the first time the United States directly called for an “immediate” cease-fire after vetoing earlier resolutions itself.See the Story

Ursula Von Der Leyen · EgyptThe European Union on Sunday announced a 7.4 billion-euro ($8 billion) aid package for cash-strapped Egypt as concerns mount that economic pressure and conflicts in neighboring countries could drive more migrants to European shores. The deal, which drew criticism from rights groups over Egypt’s human rights record, is scheduled to be signed during a visit Sunday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and leaders of Belgium, Italy, Austria, Cyprus and Greece, according to Egyptian officials. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi met separately with von der Leyen and other European leaders before the signing ceremony on Sunday afternoon. The aid package includes both grants and loans over the next three years for the Arab world’s most populous country, according to the EU’s mission in Cairo. Most of the funds — 5 billion euros ($5.4 billion)— are macro-financial assistance, according to a document from the EU mission in Egypt.See the Story
