Al-Azhar condemns Israeli violations at Ibrahimi Mosque, calls actions a falsification of history
via Egypt Today2 min read
Al-Azhar, Egypt’s top Sunni institute, has strongly condemned actions by the Israeli occupying entity at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron. These violations include illuminating the historic site with the "Star of David," raising occupation flags on its walls, and placing a curtain with Talmudic and political slogans over the shrine of the Prophet Jacob. Al-Azhar stated that these actions aim to impose a policy of Judaizing Islamic holy sites and erase their defining features. The institution described this as a blatant transgression, a new episode in systematic Israeli colonial violations targeting Islamic holy sites, and a provocation to Muslims worldwide. Al-Azhar reiterated its rejection of these practices, emphasizing their religious and legal invalidity, and affirmed that such actions will not change the Ibrahimi Mosque's status as an Islamic endowment and a testament to the Arab identity of the land.

Must ReadEgypt's Financial Regulatory Authority FRA is introducing a "digital passport" to provide a secure, verified digital identity for foreign users, distinct from a traditional travel document. This initiative aims to simplify foreign investors' entry into Egypt's financial market, especially in investment funds, by streamlining onboarding and reducing administrative burdens associated with identity verification. Ahmed Khalifa, Head of the FRA's Technology Lab, stated that this move represents a structural shift in integrating identity into non-banking financial activities like insurance, microfinance, and asset management, improving efficiency by using authenticated digital data instead of paper records.

This is part of the FRA's broader innovation push through its regulatory sandbox, which has received 30 applications, with four companies already selected in fintech, insurance, and microfinance. Solutions under development include a remote vehicle inspection model using video technology for damage assessments and a digital financial brokerage model in microfinance.
