According to the Egyptian foreign ministry, Abdelatty held separate phone calls with Jordanian FM Ayman Safadi, Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, and Bahraini FM Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.
The phone discussions touched on the rapid regional developments, particularly the Israel-Iran military escalation and the grave threat and serious repercussions it poses to regional peace and security.
During the calls, the Egyptian FM affirmed that political and diplomatic solutions are the only way to avoid expanding the conflict in ways that threaten regional peace and security.
Abdelatty and Safadi emphasized the importance of de-escalation, restraint, and prioritising dialogue, warning of the danger of the region slipping into more chaos and tensions.
The Egyptian, Saudi, and Bahraini ministers also stressed the need to prioritise political and diplomatic solutions as the only way out of the current crisis and to preserve regional security and stability.
The Arab top diplomats further reaffirmed the need to respect state sovereignty, international law, and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
Earlier Sunday, the US launched airstrikes targeting three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and the Isfahan complex, a move which many observers viewed as supporting Israel’s ongoing war against Iran, which began on 13 June.
