Egypt + Qatar are working together on Gaza reconstruction: Egypt and Qatar have signed an agreement to provide the Gaza Strip with fuel and basic building materials, the Qatari Foreign Ministry announced yesterday. This came during a ministerial meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC), the international donor group for Palestinians. Egypt recently played an instrumental role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to end the conflict in May, and has pledged to provide USD 500 mn to help reconstruct the embattled enclave.

Egypt has been re-elected to the Unesco executive council for another four-year term, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
