Sissi speaks with Iran president, says Egypt ‘completely rejects ongoing Israeli escalation’
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has expressed his government’s “complete rejection” of Israel’s campaign against Iran, calling for a negotiated solution to the conflict.
Sissi’s comments came in a phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezezhkin, the Egyptian presidency says in a statement.
The statement says Sissi voiced Egypt’s “complete rejection of the ongoing Israeli escalation against Iran,” as a threat to the Middle East’s security and stability.
The Egyptian leader calls for an immediate ceasefire to resume negotiations with the aim of reaching a “sustainable, peaceful solution to this crisis.”
