CAIRO – Egypt expressed on Saturday deep concern over the launch of dozens of offensive drones – allegedly by Iran – towards Israel.
In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry cited what it described as ‘indications of dangerous escalation‘ between Tehran and Tel Aviv in recent weeks.
It called on the two sides to exercise maximum restraint to spare the region and its peoples additional instability and tension.
The Foreign Ministry noted that the dangerous escalation currently taking place between Iran and Israel is a direct result of the expansion of the scope of the war in Gaza, something Egypt warned against repeatedly in the past.
It cited what it also described as ‘provocative‘ military actions in the region.
The Foreign Ministry added that Egypt is in continual contact with all parties concerned to try to contain the situation and stop the escalation, and to prevent the conflict from taking a dangerous turn that threatens the region and the interests of its peoples.
