CAIRO, June 22 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Badr Abdelatty and Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi issued a strong warning about the grave dangers of further regional destabilization amid the current escalation in tensions.

This came during a phone call received on Sunday by Abdelatty from his Jordanian counterpart as part of ongoing coordination and consultation between the two sisterly nations on regional developments.

The two ministers discussed the rapidly unfolding events in the region, with particular focus on the intensifying military confrontation between Israel and Iran. They asserted that this escalation poses a serious threat to regional peace and security.

Abdelatty stressed the urgent need for de-escalation and an immediate ceasefire, reiterating that political and diplomatic solutions are the only viable path to prevent the expansion of the conflict, which risks engulfing the region in broader turmoil.

During the call, both ministers highlighted the importance of restraint and calm and the need to prioritize dialogue over confrontation.

They firmly rejected any violations of the principles of the UN Charter or international law, underlining the imperative need to respect the sovereignty of all states.

The call reaffirmed the shared position of Egypt and Jordan in supporting diplomatic efforts to contain the crisis, avoid further deterioration and preserve regional stability and peace. (MENA)
