Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty is set to arrive in Beirut on Friday, according to diplomatic sources.
The visit includes a scheduled meeting at 10 a.m. with his Lebanese counterpart, the outgoing Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib.
This visit marks the third by a representative of a country actively involved in diplomatic efforts to ease regional tensions following the war in Gaza.
Abdelatty's visit follows those of U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein and French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné earlier this week. Egypt has played a significant role as a mediator, striving to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
During his visit, Minister Abdelatty is expected to meet with key Lebanese officials to discuss the ongoing crisis and explore avenues for regional stability. Egypt's involvement underscores its pivotal role in seeking a resolution to the conflict and promoting peace in the region.
U.S. President Joe Biden and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi discussed negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza on Tuesday and agreed to remain in close coordination in the coming hours, the White House said.
French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit Lebanon on Friday, marking the first visit by a foreign head of state since the election of Lebanon’s new president, Joseph Aoun, according to an announcement from the Lebanese presidency on Tuesday.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with his Luxembourgish counterpart, Xavier Bettel, on Tuesday in Cairo to discuss strengthening bilateral relations, particularly in economic cooperation and regional security.
