Maait said the healthcare scheme includes requirements for the government to gradually improve services at public hospitals and clinics \u2014 and stipulate that citizens may receive medical care at a private facility. Maait also confirmed that cigarette prices will rise only six months after the legislation goes into effect (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ya8NCiibx-U\">watch, runtime: 8:31<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt\u2019s draft resolution at the Security Council received 14 \u201cyes\u201d votes, which confirms the international community\u2019s policy on Jerusalem is nearly uniform<\/strong>, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Abou Zeid told Lamees. Abou Zeid pointed specifically to countries such as the UK, France, and Ethiopia \u2014 with whom Egypt may not always see eye-to-eye on other issues \u2014 as evidence. He also said that Egypt and other Arab countries have the right to call for a UN General Assembly session on Palestine\u2019s behalf if it so wishes (we have more in Diplomacy + Foreign Trade, below) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7WnLBvgT7CQ\">watch, runtime: 4:29<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Picking up where Lamees left off earlier this week, Kol Youm\u2019s <strong>Amr Adib sat down with Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy to discuss his price-printing policy<\/strong>. The minister said that all importers and distributors of food products will be required to submit documents proving the origin of the goods and the prices at which they bought them. El Moselhy continued to defend the policy as a measure that would ensure price transparency if applied correctly (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=88uDfDwHz68\">watch, runtime: 1:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>El Moselhy also said that, <strong>if the market continues to be regulated correctly, prices will not increase next year<\/strong>. He noted to Adib that many of the commodities provided by the ministry have seen their prices fall recently as the government has been working to increase supply and strategic reserves, which he says are currently enough to cover 4-5 months of consumption (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WolRQVUvWuo\">watch, runtime: 2:26<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Persistent bureaucracy is to blame for the delays in distributing new ration cards to subsidy recipients<\/strong>, El Moselhy said. He noted that the process of updating subsidy card holders\u2019 database took far longer than expected due to the sheer volume of individuals in the system, but many cards that have been printed were not distributed because of a bureaucratic glitch (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e7FUTWgYZRc\">watch, runtime: 4:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Masaa DMC, <strong>Supreme Anti-Terrorism Council member Khaled Okasha told host Eman El Hosary that security forces preemptively raided terrorist hideouts in Alexandria, Qalyubiya, and the New Valley<\/strong>. The terrorists killed and arrested during the raids were allegedly planning fresh attacks. The raids are part of the Interior Ministry\u2019s preparations for the holiday season, which often sees a spike in terror attacks (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jf7lEt8jZ5Y\">watch, runtime: 6:44<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Security sources also told Yahduth fi Masr\u2019s Sherif Amer that the Interior Ministry is working on securing churches across Egypt during the holiday season<\/strong> by dispatching a large number of personnel to stand guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The passage of the Universal Healthcare Act, the Interior Ministry\u2019s security preparations for the upcoming holiday season and delays in the distribution of ration cards were among the business-relevant topics on the airwaves last night.
