Egypt Court Rules Against Handing Islands To Saudi Arabia

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian court ruled on Monday against the government's decision to hand over two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia — a landmark verdict likely to deepen tensions with the kingdom and embarrass the government of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court rejected an appeal by el-Sissi's government against a lower court's decision to annul the islands handover agreement, signed in April during a visit by the Saudi monarch, King Salman. Ignoring the legal process, the government last month approved the agreement on the islands and sent it to for ratification to parliament, a 596-seat chamber packed with el-Sissi supporters.
