Good afternoon, friends, and happy hump day.<\/strong> It\u2019s another unusually warm day in Cairo, but we should be in for a reprieve starting tomorrow.

PSA- Eid break is officially just one week away<\/strong>, with Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly marking Tuesday, 26 May to Sunday, 31 May, as a paid public holiday for government employees, according to a statement<\/a>.

MEANWHILE-<\/strong> The US-Iran war has seen little progress since US President Donald Trump suggested the ceasefire was \u201con life support.\u201d The US\u2019s scheduled attack was halted due to \u201cserious negotiations taking place,\u201d according to Trump. Iran\u2019s latest response reportedly called for an end to hostilities across all fronts \u2014 including Lebanon \u2014 alongside the withdrawal of US forces from areas near Iran and reparations for damage caused by the war. Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi added that Tehran is pushing for sanctions relief, the release of frozen assets, and an end to the naval blockade.<\/p>\n
