In separate phone calls with his Italian and Spanish counterparts, Antonio Tajani and José Manuel Albares, Abdelatty said there was an urgent need to de-escalate and avoid further confrontation.
He reiterated Egypt’s position that military solutions will not resolve the region’s overlapping crises.
According to a statement from Egypt’s foreign ministry, Abdelatty rejected any violation of state sovereignty or territorial integrity and urged efforts to prevent the conflict from expanding.
The ministers also discussed efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and detainees, and allow humanitarian aid into the Strip.
Tajani and Albares supported Egypt’s mediation role and emphasized the need for coordinated international efforts to contain the conflict's aftermath.
On Friday, Israel launched a series of strikes across Iran, targeting nuclear and military infrastructure, as well as residential areas.
Several senior military figures and nuclear scientists were reportedly killed, along with over 60 civilians — including 20 children.
In response, Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles at Israel from Friday night into Saturday, killing three people and injuring dozens.
