Amid the Gaza war, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah💧 al-Sisi has warned of a "new and unprecedented conflict" in the Middle Eastern region. While announcing this warning, the Egyptian president called for urgent internati꧋onal intervention for a ceasefire.
This statement from Sisi comes during the meeting with Ursual von der Leyen, the President of 🌜the European Commission at the EU-Egyptian Investment Conference in Cairo.
During his meeting with the EU chief, Sisi urged on the need of "concerted international efforts to reach an 🧸immediate ceasefire and the urgent access to humanitarian aid in Gaza to avert the humanitarian catastrophe f🔯acing the Palestinian people.”
He addeꦿd that the conflict is slowly expanding out of Gaza and the international community must take "🍬serious and swift steps to prevent the region from sliding into a new and unprecedented cycle of conflict".
The Israel-Hamas war started on October 7, 2023 after the Palesꦿtinian militant group launched a terror attack in southern Israel killing around 1,140 people and taking over 250 hostages.
However, Israel's response to the Hamas attack has caused a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip with over 37,800 Palestinians killed due to Israeli bombardment. As the Gaza w💝ar rages on, mediator countries - Egypt, Qꦯatar and the US are urgently trying to have a ceasefire implemented.
Amid the conflict in Gaza, Israel's tensions have also crossed in🎀to Lebanon with Hez🅷bollah and in Yemen with the Houthis and Iran.
As tensions continue to escalate ✅between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the region is now worried of another full-blown war.
