Egypt’s foreign minister warned of the risk of an all-out regional conflict in light of intensified fighting between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, saying the escalation “negatively impacted” a Gaza truce deal, AFP reports.
“There is great concern about… the possibility of an escalation in the region leading to an all-out regional war,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told AFP, adding that the latest spike in violence “negatively affects” ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, which Cairo is helping mediate.
