Good morning, friends.<\/strong> Two stories are competing for your attention this morning. <\/p>\n

In business news: ADQ has reportedly finalized its USD 800 mn purchase of three <\/strong>state-owned petchem and drilling companies<\/strong>. It\u2019s a welcome shot in the arm for state coffers and further sign of momentum in the Madbouly government\u2019s asset sale program. <\/p>\n

But the BIG STORY here at home this morning is PM Moustafa Madbouly\u2019s warning to <\/strong>Israel <\/strong>not to try to push displaced Palestinians into Sinai. Madbouly\u2019s remarks, made in Sinai before he returned to Cairo to meet with ADQ chief and UAE Investment Minister Mohamed Alsuwaidi, comes as officials prepare to open the border crossing at Rafah to allow in a limited number of wounded Gazans as well as foreign passport holders. <\/p>\n

MORNING MUST READ- <\/strong>\u201cA textbook case of genocide\u201d<\/a><\/strong>\u2014 that\u2019s how Craig Mokhiber, a top UN rights official, described Israel\u2019s war on Gaza in a letter of resignation yesterday to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk.<\/p>\n
