He stated that “Paris and London adhere to this statement – the call,” while Washington is with it in form, but in essence it does nothing to implement it and does not put serious pressure on the Israeli entity to abide by it and stop its aggression,” pointing out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be the one who He is putting pressure on the United States and not the other way around, taking advantage of the opportunity of the presidential elections in which Democrats and Republicans are competing to please Israel, and holding the American administration by its throats.”
He stressed that “we have no choice but to work on two paths together: continuing the resistance to prevent the enemy from occupying our land, and pursuing the diplomatic effort to implement the international plan we agreed to,” indicating that the issue of the displaced constitutes his greatest concern at this stage.
In a related context, Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdel Ati affirmed, “His country’s complete rejection of violating Lebanese sovereignty and the urgent necessity of achieving a ceasefire and stopping the escalation on the part of Israel.”
In a telephone call made by Minister Abdel-Aty today with David Lammy, the United Kingdom Foreign Minister, the spokesman said in a press statement: The call “dealt with the accelerating and dangerous developments in Lebanon, as Minister Abdel-Aty stressed the danger of the Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.”
The Egyptian Minister stressed “the importance of empowering the Lebanese Army to ensure Lebanon’s stability in light of the current critical stage,” stressing “the importance of implementing Security Council Resolution No. 1701 with all its elements by all parties.”
