During a phone conversation, Abdelatty briefed Blinken on the contacts he had made with the foreign ministers of a number of countries in the region, including Iran and Lebanon, as well as some European countries, with the aim of containing the ongoing escalation in the region, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The top Egyptian diplomat also stressed the need for all parties to exercise self-restraint, and spare the region the risks of instability and threats to the interests of its peoples.

They also agreed to continue efforts and coordination to encourage the parties to reach a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible.
