This came during a meeting between Abdelatty and his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi in Cairo.

Egypt’s foreign minister warned that this regional war could have devastating consequences for all parties, leaving no country in the region unaffected by its repercussions.

He also highlighted the need to proceed cautiously during this critical time, highlighting the dangerous juncture the region is undergoing.

The two diplomats addressed recent regional developments in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and the Red Sea, along with the urgent need for de-escalation in the region, as stated by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During the meeting, Abdelatty stressed the pressing need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, unconditional access to humanitarian and relief aid to address the catastrophic humanitarian crisis, and establishing a framework to restore stability in the region.

Earlier on Thursday, Araghchi discussed regional developments with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, who underscored the need to continue and intensify international efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.

Araghchi's visit to Egypt is the first by a high-ranking Iranian official to Cairo in over a decade.

Moreover, Abdelatty highlighted to Araghchi during their meeting Egypt's stance on the importance of addressing the root causes of the conflict in the region by establishing a Palestinian state based on the lines of 4 June 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, under relevant international resolutions.

Egypt stressed that addressing the Palestinian issue would have a profound impact on all peoples in the region, underscoring that “there can be no security or stability in the region without establishing a Palestinian state.”

Lebanon stability
 

FM Abdelatty also reaffirmed Egypt's firm rejection of any compromise on Lebanese sovereignty and highlighted the importance of preserving the unity and integrity of Lebanese territories.

Egypt's top diplomat stressed the importance of coordinated efforts for an immediate ceasefire and the inclusive implementation of UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701 by all parties without partiality.

Resolution 1701, unanimously approved by the UNSC on 11 August 2006, called for a complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon following the Israeli war on the country.

It stipulated that the Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) would be the only armed forces permitted south of the Litani River, approximately 30 km (about 20 mi) from Lebanon's southern border.

Cairo has consistently called for an end to Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

Abdelatty further highlighted the necessity of empowering and supporting Lebanese institutions at this watershed moment, particularly the Lebanese army, to enable it to assert its sovereignty over all Lebanese territories, ensuring security and stability in Lebanon.

Furthermore, he affirmed that decisions related to the presidential vacancy must be made within the framework of Lebanese consensus, free from external dictates.

The Iranian FM's visit to Egypt comes as Israel continues its strikes on both Gaza and Lebanon and threatens to attack Tehran in response to Iran's launch of 180 missiles at the country earlier in October.

Cairo is Araghchi’s second stop on his regional tour, following Amman, before he heads to Turkey.

Last week, the Iranian foreign minister also visited Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and Oman in efforts to alleviate regional tensions.
