Egypt has condemned drone and missile attacks targeting the United Arab Emirates, which resulted in a fire at an oil facility in Fujairah and left several people injured, according to a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, 4 May. The ministry said Egypt expresses its full solidarity with the UAE and supports the measures it is taking to protect its sovereignty and resources, while rejecting any actions aimed at targeting civilians or destabilising the Arab Gulf region. It warned that the attacks represent a dangerous escalation that could undermine efforts to de-escalate tensions, describing them as a violation of international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter. The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions linked to the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which has raised concerns over the security of energy infrastructure and key shipping routes in the Gulf. Egyptian officials have previously stressed the need for diplomatic solutions to prevent further instability across the region

Egypt has increased on Sunday, 3 May, natural gas prices for several energy-intensive industrial sectors. The measure, issued under Decree No. 1306 of 2026 by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, establishes minimum selling prices for gas supplied to industrial activities, at a minimum selling price set at no less than USD 6.50 (EGP 350) per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for energy-intensive industries. The government then applies sector-specific rates for cement producers, which will be charged USD 14 (EGP 752) per MMBtu, while iron and steel, non-nitrogen fertilizers, and petrochemical industries will pay USD 7.75 (EGP 416) per MMBtu. For all other industrial activities, the rate is set at USD 6.75 (EGP 362) per MMBtu. Officials said the decision aligns with broader efforts to address rising energy costs internationally. The increase was widely expected as global oil and gas prices climbed amid heightened Middle East tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has tightened energy supply conditions. The new industrial pricing follows earlier domestic changes. In March, Egypt raised local fuel prices by up to 17 percent, aiming to offset surging global energy costs. The government is alsoContinue reading "Egypt Raises Natural Gas Prices for Energy-Intensive Industries Starting May"
