Egypt's foreign minister: Egypt's complete condemnation and categorical rejection of Israeli aggressions and any encroachment on Lebanon's sovereignty...

Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reiterated its full condemnation of Israeli military actions against Lebanon, emphasizing a categorical rejection of any violations of Lebanese sovereignty, unity, or territorial integrity according to Egypt's statement. In a recent diplomatic exchange, Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty underscored Egypt’s unwavering support for Lebanon amid escalating hostilities, including Israeli airstrikes that have reportedly killed 773 individuals and injured 1,933 others since March 2, 2026, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Abdelatty’s remarks followed a phone call with U.S. Senior Advisor Massad Boulos, during which Egypt called for an immediate cessation of Israeli aggression, which it described as a flagrant breach of international law.

The Lebanese government has simultaneously taken steps to assert state authority, banning Hezbollah's military activities and ordering the disarmament of its forces under constitutional frameworks. Despite these measures, regional tensions remain high, with Israeli forces shifting to offensive operations against Hezbollah and expanding strikes across southern Lebanon. Egypt has pledged continued diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region, including mobilizing international support to alleviate humanitarian suffering and halt further escalation.

As of March 13, 2026, over 830,441 Lebanese citizens have been internally displaced due to the conflict. Both Egypt and Lebanon have stressed the need for international actors to enforce compliance with ceasefire agreements and ensure Lebanon's neutrality amid the broader regional conflict involving Israel, Iran, and the United States.
