Egypt, Cyprus, and Greece’s leaders met in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss rising Middle East tensions, including hostilities in Gaza, Israel, and Lebanon, as well as wider instability in Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Sudan.
The summit emphasised the critical need for regional collaboration to address mounting threats to security, migration, and economic stability.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi stressed the significance of stepping up measures to prevent conflicts from turning into full-scale war, warning of disastrous outcomes such as mass displacement and illegal migration.
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades underlined these worries, stating that the area is experiencing unprecedented volatility, necessitating solidarity and coordinated action to restore security.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasised the significance of achieving a truce in Gaza, the release of captives, and a two-state solution to address the conflict’s underlying roots.
