Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi urged an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and Lebanon on Saturday.
He called for stronger efforts to stop hostilities and arrange the exchange of hostages in Gaza.
His comments came during a meeting with a US congressional delegation led by Congressman Tom Cole.
Al-Sisi emphasized the urgency of halting the conflict to prevent further escalation.
He also stressed that establishing an independent Palestinian state is key to long-term peace.
Despite months of indirect talks, Egypt’s mediation efforts have not secured a truce as Israel continues its military operations.
Cross-border violence with Hezbollah in Lebanon persists, and recent Israeli strikes have killed key Hezbollah leaders.
The conflict has caused heavy casualties and mass displacement across the region.
