I condemn the rocket attack that hit a playground in Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.
Attacks on civilians or civilian installations are expressly prohibited under international law. I offer my heartfelt condolences to all of the victims.
I also call on all parties to de-escalate to avoid a potential major war that could have devastating consequenses for the northern front of Israel and for the region at large.
Happy to see great results from SIDA financed MENATEX program. We are now looking forward to phase II focusing on sustainability. Egypt is well placed for fruitful cooperation with Swedish and European companies in textile and clothing.
