Egypt’s government has approved President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s proposal to extend a national state of emergency for an additional three months, the cabinet said in a statement on Thursday.

Parliament unanimously approved a three-month state of emergency in April, broadening the power of authorities to crack down on what it called enemies of the state after two church bombings killed at least 45.

Egyptian police have seven people in custody in connection to violence against Christians.
