Egypt Removes 720 Names from Terror Watchlist in Reconciliation Push

The landmark decision, requested by the Public Prosecution, reflects claims that the individuals have ceased unlawful activities against the state.

Experts view the move as a significant step toward national reconciliation inrough Egypt’s decade-long political turmoil.
