Egypt declares ceasefire broken amid Middle East crisis
The United States views Egypt's declaration as retrogressive and not bound by the 1987 cease-fire, a stance that could worsen regional tensions. State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said the reported Egyptian position risks eroding stability in the area.

Planing panel backs Utah quarry at Apperson ridge
Alameda County Planning Commission recommended unanimously approving a quarry permit for Utah and William W. Apperson on the 2,555 acre Diamond A ranch, with 25 conditions to curb noise dust and lighting and a pledge to reclaim land for agriculture. The proposal faces fierce opposition from East Bay Regional Park District and conservation groups, arguing it would damage Sunol Valley’s landscape and park potential. Opposition notes economic and aesthetic stakes as the district already plans major improvements and resists intrusion into the Sunol wilderness. Critics warn of noise, ecological disruption, and higher fire risk, while supporters counter the site yields high quality aggregate with limited waste and that essential access and plant relocation mitigates impacts. Core drilling will follow final permit approval and before actual granting.
