🇸🇦 ❌️ 🇮🇱 A Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the discussions between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America on the Arab-Israeli peace process.

🔶️ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that regarding the discussions between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America on the Arab-Israeli peace process, and in light of what has been attributed to the U.S. National Security Spokesperson, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the position of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been steadfast on the Palestinian issue and the necessity that the brotherly Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights. The Kingdom has communicated its firm position to the U.S. administration that there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces withdraw from the Gaza Strip. The Kingdom reiterates its call to the permanent members of the UN Security Council that have not yet recognized the Palestinian state, to expedite the recognition of the Palestinian state on the I967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, so that the Palestinian people can obtain their legitimate rights and so that a comprehensive and just peace is achieved for all.

⚖️ 🇸🇪 💥 Sweden closes probe into Nord Stream pipelines explosion

Swedish officials say the results of their investigation so far mean they do not have jurisdiction in the case.

Sweden has decided to close its investigation into the explosions on the underwater Nord Stream gas pipelines 18 months ago, officials said on Wednesday.

The Nordic nation's investigation was one of three probes into the September 2022 explosions that hit the pipelines, which were built to carry Russian natural gas to Germany.

Denmark and Germany are also examining the blasts, but officials say Sweden doesn't have jurisdiction to investigate.

The prosecution authority said the primary purpose of its investigation was “to establish whether Swedish citizens were involved in the act and whether Swedish territory was used to carry out the act. This would thereby risk damaging Swedish interests or security”.

Since Sweden and Swedish interests were not targeted, it said, “Swedish jurisdiction is thus lacking”.

✝️ 🇺🇸 🇻🇦 Polling shows Catholic priests are becoming more right-wing every ordination year.

🔶️ "We are witnessing a major shift in the way priests in the United States view themselves and their
priesthood. Younger priests are much more likely than their older peers to describe themselves as
politically conservative or moderate. Younger priests are also much more likely to see themselves as
theologically orthodox or conservative than do older priests. These shifts can be a source of friction
and tension, especially between younger and older priests."

🇪🇬Decline in Egypt's Suez Canal Revenues: A 46% Drop in January 2024

Amidst the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and heightened tensions in the Middle East, Egypt experienced a substantial decline in revenues from the Suez Canal in January 2024, as reported by Lebanese satellite TV channel Al Mayadeen.

The crucial waterway, connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, witnessed a 36% decrease in the number of ships crossing last month compared to January 2023.

Admiral Osama Rabie, Chairman of the board of directors at Al Mayadeen, revealed, "In January last year, we had revenue of $804 million compared to $428 million this year, which translates to a loss of 46%," during an interview with Egyptian broadcaster ON.

This decline coincides with the ongoing "U.S.-induced escalation in the Red Sea [that] has dramatically changed the dynamics of global shipping," as quoted by Rabie in Al Mayadeen.
