— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 For those who didn't know: He has done this for years

'Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. president’s guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state.'

"The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean,” said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leader’s visits. “After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.”

⚡️🇮🇷🇩🇪 The Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned the German ambassador on the event of the closure of the Islamic Center in Hamburg.

— 🇪🇬 I just found out that despite the common claim that 'Egypt doesn't have foreign troops on its land', there are actually more than 1,000 foreign troops in Sinai.

Task Force Sinai is the US regiment-sized element of the Multinational Force and Observers ("MFO"), the peacekeeping organization in place in the Sinai Peninsula since 1982. The Task Force commander is a US Army colonel, who also serves as the MFO Chief of Staff.[1] The Task Force commander utilizes American forces to support and achieve the overall observe and report[2] mission of the MFO.

Another extremely common Egypt L. Sorry Egyptian friends, but it's true. RIP.
