Egypt in talks with Lebanese parties in bid to avert regional war, foreign minister says

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Cairo was in talks with “various Lebanese parties” to prevent a war between Hezbollah and Israel.

“We are also in talks with the Israelis, and as you know there have been meetings in the past two days and there are meetings today in Qatar because the main issue is the Israeli aggression against Gaza,” Abdelatty said in a meeting with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi.
