The Ismail Cabinet’s Planning and Urbanization Committee gave its preliminarily approval yesterday to a plan to establish new cities in North Sinai, Beni Suef, and Minya, according to a statement. Among the planned new cities is the New Bir Al Abd City, which Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly had announced last November following a deadly terrorist attack on the Al Rawda Mosque in North Sinai’s Bir Al Abd. The plans will be put up for discussion at the next cabinet meeting, the statement says.
