Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty speaks with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot and British National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell about the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
In a statement after the call, Abdelatty says that the E3, an informal foreign and security cooperation arrangement between the UK, Germany and France, is responsible for opening “channels for dialogue and negotiation and utilize all available channels with the Iranian side to reach compromises that contribute to de-escalation.”
