This marked the second such discussions in four days as the military escalation between Israel and Iran entered its second week with no immediate solution in sight.
According to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, the calls are in line with directives from President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to intensify diplomatic efforts aimed at containing the military escalation between Israel and Iran.
During the two calls, Minister Abdelatty reaffirmed the urgent need to de-escalate tensions, enforce a ceasefire, and make full use of available diplomatic channels to contain the rapidly deteriorating situation and avert a wider regional crisis.
He stressed the importance of preventing the conflict from spreading and dragging the region into full-scale chaos with consequences no one would be immune to.
Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s stance on pursuing every diplomatic and political avenue to reach a sustainable agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
On Tuesday, Badr Abdelatty urged de-escalation and the pursuit of diplomatic solutions in separate phone calls with Araghchi and Witkoff.
