Egypt urged an immediate halt to the growing tensions in the region, warning of the risks of a full-scale war.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty emphasized the need for de-escalation to avoid further destabilization in the Middle East.
Speaking at a press conference after meeting Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut, Abdel Aty highlighted the critical importance of calming the situation.
He noted that Lebanon’s security and stability are essential for Egypt and the broader Arab world.
Abdel Aty conveyed Egypt’s support for Lebanon and stressed the urgent need for a cease-fire in Gaza.
He identified the unresolved Palestinian issue as the main driver of ongoing conflicts in the region, calling for an end to hostilities.
The minister condemned targeted assassinations and reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to Lebanon’s unity and sovereignty.
His visit to Beirut on Friday is part of a broader diplomatic effort to engage with Lebanese leaders on regional developments.
Abdel Aty’s statements come as clashes continue between Lebanese and Palestinian factions, including Hezbollah, and Israel, leading to significant casualties.
The tensions have escalated following high-profile assassinations and ongoing violence in Gaza.
