Ägyptens Wirtschaftskrise setzt die Mittelschicht unter Druck
Die Menschen in Ägypten leiden immer mehr unter der Wirtschaftskrise. Mittlerweile kann sich auch die Mittelschicht vieles nicht mehr leisten. Und gerade während des Ramadan sind die Preise weiter angestiegen. Von Udo Schmidt.
[…] The White House held a scaled-down #iftar dinner on Tuesday to celebrate Islam's holy month of #Ramadan, after some invitees turned the president down over frustrations in the Muslim community over his policy toward the Israel-Gaza war.
[…] Emgage Action, a Muslim American advocacy group, said it declined an invitation to Tuesday's dinner, citing Biden's "continued unconditional military aid to Israel," which they say has led to a "humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions."
[…] One of the attendees, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency room doctor who spent at least three weeks in Gaza, told CNN that he walked out of Tuesday's meeting before it ended.
[…] "Out of respect for my community, out of respect for all of the people who have suffered and who have been killed in the process, I needed to walk out of the meeting," Ahmad said.

it is satire, but had to check it out before posting. Wouldn't surprise me if Netanyahu said something that outrageous.
The Israeli government has put out a statement giving well wishes to everyone taking part in Ramadan this year, saying that they are only blocking food from entering the Gaza out of respect for the tradition.
“People claim we have no respect for the lives of those we want to wipe out,” said Netanyahu, “but we understand that Ramadan has started and we are doing everything in our power to stop those observing the tradition in Palestine from breaking it by making it that there is no food for them to eat. We are really heroic in that way.”
