Egyptian president says he condemned ‘Israeli escalation’ in call with Iranian president
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi expressed his “total rejection” of Israeli attacks on Iran and emphasised the need for an immediate ceasefire during a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier today, according to a statement from his government.
“The President expressed Egypt’s complete rejection of the ongoing Israeli escalation against Iran, given the threat it poses to the security and stability of the Middle East at a critical time, as the region is witnessing multiple and escalating crises,” a statement from the Egyptian president’s office reads.
“Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy, the official spokesperson, added that the President emphasized the importance Egypt attaches to an immediate ceasefire, allowing for the resumption of negotiations aimed at reaching a sustainable, peaceful solution to this crisis. He emphasized the importance of working to de-escalate the situation as much as possible and ensuring that the cycle of violence does not expand. He emphasized that there is no military solution to this crisis,” it adds.
