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.

Saudi Arabia ordered an Iranian diplomat and three members of his team to leave the country Saturday, as the Kingdom continues to absorb Iranian missile strikes launched in retaliation for the US-Israeli military campaign against Tehran.
Around 59 people were wounded - most lightly - by Iranian missile strikes on Dimona in southern Israel, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom, as reported by multiple Israeli media outlets.
Egypt has strongly condemned on Saturday the terrorist and sabotage plots targeting the security and stability of Gulf states, most recently the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, following the successful dismantling of Hezbollah-linked networks in both countries.
