The Egyptian President’s remarks came during his meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, where they discussed ongoing developments in the region, particularly the escalation in Gaza and Lebanon.

President El-Sisi emphasised the importance of intensifying international efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, halting violations in the West Bank, and ensuring sufficient humanitarian aid is delivered to alleviate civilian suffering.
