Egypt’s Cairo Tower, an outstanding landmark in the capital, was lit up Monday night with the logo of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics to show support for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. During the event named “Cairo Tower Lighting Show for the Beijing Winter Olympics”, the tower was also illuminated with words in Chinese, English and Arabic in support of the Olympics, such as “Beijing 2022” and “See you in Beijing in 10 days.” Speaking ahead of the show, which was organized by the tower’s administration, Chinese Ambassador to Egypt Liao Liqiang thanked the Egyptian side for the good wishes and careful preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics, wishing the Beijing Winter Olympics a complete success.
Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”
He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”
“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.
King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”
He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
