Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi reiterated calls for an immediate ceasefire and delivery of aid to Palestinians trapped in the besieged enclave.
Speaking on the sidelines of the EU-Egypt Investment Conference, Sisi warned against a further escalation of fighting in Gaza and the war expanding to Lebanon between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah.
"We call on the international community to take serious and rapid steps to prevent the region from sliding into a new and unprecedented cycle of conflict,” said Sisi.
