False claim on tree cutting by minister

The article addresses the truth of the statements attributed to the Minister of Local Development and Environment, Dr. Manal Abdo, regarding the issue of tree cutting. It affirms that the circulating information about a central decision to cut trees is incorrect and contradicts official directives that emphasize the importance of preserving and maintaining trees, as well as expanding afforestation efforts within the framework of the presidential initiative to plant 100 million trees. The directives clarify that cutting or uprooting trees is permitted only after obtaining approval from the governor and the Environmental Affairs Agency, in accordance with laws and environmental regulations, and not generally or without proper legal procedures. They also explain that the minister's statements focus on protecting trees, monitoring violations against them, and taking legal action against offenders. The official stance is that a central decision not to cut trees except with official approval is the authorized position, rather than issuing a collective decision to cut trees.
