Cairo, October 4 (Xinhua) — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty and Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh discussed the developments in the US ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip by phone on Saturday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry reported.

B. Abdel Aty emphasized that the cessation of hostilities must guarantee the Palestinians the opportunity to remain on their land without displacement, reject annexation plans, preserve the unity of the West Bank and Gaza, and begin rapid restoration and reconstruction, the ministry's statement said.

The diplomat noted that Egypt hopes that international efforts will ensure a complete ceasefire, alleviate the humanitarian crisis, and allow for more aid to be delivered to the Palestinian enclave.

H. al-Sheikh, in turn, emphasized the importance of leveraging the "positive momentum" of the ceasefire plan to end the nearly two-year war and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe. He praised Egypt's role in protecting Palestinian rights.

The phone call took place the day after the Palestinian movement Hamas announced its agreement in principle with the US proposal and its readiness to begin mediation talks. Cairo welcomed Hamas's statement, describing it as a sign of the Palestinian factions' commitment to ending a "dark chapter" in the region's history.

Moscow, October 4 (Xinhua) — Russia is imposing a temporary export duty on flaxseed exports outside the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and introducing regional corn export quotas, according to information published on the government website.

The export duty on flax will be 10 percent of the raw material's customs value. This regulation will be in effect until August 31, 2026. It is expected that these measures will stimulate the utilization of processing capacity.

In addition, tariff quotas have been established for duty-free exports of corn produced in Primorsky Krai and Amur Oblast from Russia outside the EAEU. For the former, the quota will be 280,000 tons, and for the latter, 130,000 tons.

According to the forecast of the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies, in the 2025-2026 agricultural year (September-August), the harvest of oilseed flax in the Russian Federation could amount to 1.3-1.4 million tons, compared to 1.25 million tons in the 2024-2025 agricultural year and 1.15 million tons in the 2023-2024 agricultural year. –0–
