This came in a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, reiterating Cairo’s warnings that the Israeli ongoing violations and actions could plunge the region into a state of confrontation and chaos.

These violations could expose the peoples of the region to “grave and intractable” risks, added the statement.

Egypt will intensify its efforts to engage with regional and international powers to contain the escalating violence, expressing its commitment to support all initiatives aimed at achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace in the region.

The statement also emphasized that such stability is contingent upon halting Israeli military actions in Gaza and adhering to relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Since 7 October, Israel has killed and injured over 130,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women, damaged most of Gaza’s infrastructure, and displaced the majority of the population.

In the past 72 hours alone, more than 600, including 50 children, were killed and hundreds injured in the Israeli strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, marking the deadliest attack of cross-border violence since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza.

According to the UN, Israel's bombardment of Lebanon has forced 90,000 people to flee their homes in southern Lebanon to safer areas elsewhere in the country.

The mass displacement comes as Israel's military said it carried out fresh strikes on Thursday across the country and its capital, Beirut, despite a US-led call for a ceasefire.
