Egypt expresses concern over Middle East escalation after Israeli strikes on Iran, calls for Gaza hostage-truce deal
Egypt says it is gravely concerned over the escalation in the Middle East, noting this morning’s IDF strikes on Iran, and condemns all measures that threaten regional security and stability.
In a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Cairo also reiterates its call for a “quick ceasefire” in Gaza that will see the release of hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023 and a truce in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.
