Egyptian court rejects transfer of islands to Saudis
None
An Egyptian court on Tuesday rejected as "unconstitutional" a border agreement that would have transferred two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia, and which had sparked street protests in Cairo.
The ruling was a rare rebuke of the government's foreign policy by the judiciary, which has been largely supportive of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, and could strain ties with Riyadh, which has provided billions of dollars in aid to Egypt in recent years.
