The Egyptian government has appealed against a court ruling in Cairo that deemed void Egypt's agreement with Saudi Arabia regarding the handover of two strategic islands to Riyadh. This comes as many Egyptians have welcomed the court’s ruling saying the two Red Sea islands should remain under Egyptian sovereignty. Press TV’s Mohamed Shalaby reports from Cairo.
