CAIRO: Egypt has warned of the dangers of opening a new war front in Lebanon.

In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates, Cairo warned of the dangers of expanding the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, in light of the recent events in Majdal Shams village in the occupied Golan Heights.

Egypt emphasized the importance of supporting Lebanon, its people, and its institutions, and sparing it from the ravages of war.

It also called on international actors to intervene immediately to prevent the people of the region from facing the catastrophic consequences of expanding the conflict, which could pose a threat to international peace and security.

Furthermore, Egypt reiterated its warning about the dangers of Israel continuing its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, calling for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire to end the humanitarian suffering in the enclave as soon as possible.

This would also enable the international community to contain the negative repercussions of the crisis on the Palestinian people and on security and stability in the region.
