Egypt voices support for Lebanon in confronting Zionists’ threats
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has expressed his country’s support for Lebanon in confronting Israeli threats, as fears are growing about a full-blown war between the Zionist regime and Hezbollah.
Tehran, Qodsna - In a telephone conversation with his Lebanese counterpart Abdallah Bou Habib on Saturday, Abdelatty also voiced Egypt’s “deep concern over the dangerously increasing pace of escalation” in the region.
Back on July 30, the top Egyptian diplomat said Cairo had established contacts with “relevant parties” in an attempt to contain Israel's current escalation against Lebanon and prevent the region from devolving into a major war.
Abdelatty made the remarks during phone calls with Lebanon's Prime Minister Najib Mikati and his Lebanese counterpart at the time.
The top diplomat informed Lebanese officials of Egyptian contacts to avoid dragging the region into a wide-scale war.
Both sides have agreed to continue consultations to coordinate efforts to reduce tension and escalation, the ministry added.
