Egypt warns against a war in Lebanon, saying it could “lead to the region sliding into a comprehensive regional war.”
In a post on X, Egypt’s foreign ministry “stresses the importance of supporting Lebanon, its people and its institutions and sparing it the scourge of war.”
Cairo repeats its demands for an “immediate and comprehensive ceasefire that will end the human suffering in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, and enable the international community to contain the repercussions of the crisis.”
Egypt does not mention Hezbollah or condemn the rocket attack in the statement.
