President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Sunday reiterated their countries’ shared stance on the need for de-escalating regional tensions during a phone call.

The two leaders emphasized the need for concerted Arab action to restore security and stability across the region.

El-Sisi highlighted the outcomes of his recent Gulf tour, reaffirming Egypt’s condemnation of aggression against Arab states and underscoring the importance of respecting their sovereignty and stability.

They also exchanged Eid Al-Fitr greetings and discussed the strong bilateral ties and ongoing cooperation between Egypt and Jordan, particularly amid rapid regional developments and emerging challenges.

The talks come as the US-Israel war in Iran enters its fourth week, with Iran continuing retaliatory missile and drone strikes that have targeted Israel and also extended to Gulf states and regional infrastructure.
