 Barack Obama 'confident' America will have a female president 'sometime soon': 'It’ll become normalized' Barack Obama recently expressed optimism about America’s political future, saying he believes the country will elect a female president “sometime soon.”  In an interview with People, the former president explained that just as his own election in 2008 helped normalize the idea of a Black president, he expects that a woman in the Oval Office will eventually be seen as unremarkable.  He noted that once the milestone is reached, public focus will shift to everyday issues like gas prices and policy outcomes rather than the novelty of gender.

EGYPT AND CYPRUS SIGN FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR COOPERATION ON GAS. (PHOTO).



 Egypt and Cyprus sign framework agreement for cooperation on gas

Egypt and Cyprus signed a framework agreement for cooperation on gas ​at the Egypt 2026 Energy Show on Monday, Reuters reported.

A ‌spokesperson for the Cypriot presidency said that the non-binding agreement will be a base upon which the two countries can ​negotiate more agreements for the exploitation of Cyprus' ​reserves.

Another Cypriot government official added that the agreement ⁠will allow the two countries to negotiate the sale of natural gas to Egypt or Egypt's state-owned companies from Cyprus's Kronos and Aphrodite offshore fields.

Cypriot officials say they could be in a position to start extracting gas from ​Kronos in 2027 or 2028.

Last year, Egypt and Cyprus signed ​agreements enabling the export of gas from Cyprus's offshore fields to ‌Egypt ⁠for liquefaction and re-export to Europe, as both countries seek to bolster the Eastern Mediterranean's role as an energy hub.

Egypt is suffering the spillover from the Iran ​war, particularly in ​the energy ⁠sector, as it depends on imported fuel. Costs have ballooned with the disruption of oil ​and gas production and trade across the ​Middle ⁠East.

The government has already raised fuel prices and the price of public transport, announced a work-from-home policy, and ordered ⁠most ​malls, shops, and eateries to close ​down by 9 p.m. five days a week.
