Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has reiterated his country’s firm opposition to Israel’s recent violations of Lebanese sovereignty, urging all parties to exercise restraint and uphold international law.
In a statement issued by the Egyptian presidency on [Insert Date], President Sisi emphasized that the repeated incursions into Lebanese territory by Israeli forces represent a serious threat to regional stability and a breach of Lebanon’s territorial integrity.
“Egypt categorically rejects any actions that compromise the sovereignty of Lebanon or escalate tensions in an already fragile region,” President Sisi said, adding that respect for national borders is fundamental to preserving peace in the Middle East.
The president made his remarks during a high-level security briefing amid rising concerns over the spillover of violence from the Gaza conflict into Lebanon’s southern border, where clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants have intensified in recent weeks.
Sisi called on the international community, particularly the United Nations, to play a more active role in curbing provocations and ensuring that diplomatic channels remain open to prevent a wider conflict.
Egypt, which has historically played a mediating role in Middle Eastern conflicts, continues to advocate for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis and for broader Arab solidarity in confronting regional challenges.
The statement from Cairo comes at a time of heightened anxiety across the region, as multiple flashpoints raise fears of a broader military confrontation.
Observers see Egypt’s firm stance as part of its long-standing commitment to regional diplomacy and its strategic interest in maintaining stability along its northern borders.
