This was revealed in a series of phone conversations he held on Thursday with several Lebanese party leaders and political figures.

The discussions included Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces; Sami Gemayel, leader of the Kataeb Party; Sleiman Frangieh, leader of the Marada Movement; and Gebran Bassil, leader of the Free Patriotic Movement.

During the phone calls, FM Abdelatty underscored that strengthening national institutions, particularly the Lebanese Armed Forces, is essential for achieving security and stability and preserving Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The minister also reaffirmed Egypt's support for all efforts to ensure the stability of Lebanon's state institutions.

The Lebanese political leaders, in turn, conveyed their deep appreciation for Egypt's steadfast political and humanitarian support during this critical juncture.

They highlighted Egypt's solidarity with Lebanon and reiterated their commitment to working towards comprehensive security and stability across the country in alignment with the aspirations and interests of the Lebanese people.

Egypt officially welcomed the ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon that took effect on Wednesday morning, urging an end to the Israeli aggression in Gaza.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the deal would contribute to de-escalation in the region by fully implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701, including deploying the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and its control over all the Lebanese territories.

The ministry also reiterated the necessity of respecting Lebanon's sovereignty without interference in its internal affairs.

Furthermore, it stressed the need to complete the formation of Lebanese institutions, including the presidential election, without external influence and based on national consensus.
