In a statement issued today by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo expressed its complete rejection of Israel’s continued violations against Syrian territories, warning that such attacks represent a dangerous escalation that undermines efforts to support stability in Syria and the region, and threatens regional peace and security at a time when political solutions and de-escalation are urgently needed.
