Administrative Court annuls President’s decision to transfer islands to Saudi Arabia
The Administrative Court of the State Council has upheld a ruling that aned President Sisi's decision to transfer the islands of Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia. The government had appealed the lower court's decision from June before three separate courts, including the Administrative Court of the State Council. The other two have yet to rule in the case. The government has defended the deal, saying the islands always belonged to the Kingdom. (Bloomberg)
