Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Saturday to express Cairo's "condemnation and strong denunciation" of Iranian attacks targeting the UAE and several Arab states.
El-Sisi affirmed Egypt's full solidarity with the UAE, backing all measures taken to defend its land, security and sovereignty, while stressing the need to respect territorial integrity and the principle of good neighbourliness.
Both leaders sounded a note of caution amid the escalating conflict, emphasising the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy to prevent the region from descending into a broader cycle of conflict threatening regional and international peace.
