According to the Egyptian presidency, the two leaders expressed deep concern over the ongoing escalation between Israel and Iran, warning of the grave consequences of a widening conflict that could impact the entire region.
They emphasized the importance of all parties exercising restraint and pursuing a resolution through negotiations and peaceful means.
They also called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities in de-escalating the crisis.
The Egyptian presidency added that both leaders stressed the direct link between the current regional tensions and the continued Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.
They underscored the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and warned of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe faced by its residents.
President El-Sisi and King Hamad called for the immediate and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to save lives in the Strip.
