Egypt rejects Gulf threat

At the Manama Dialogue regional security summit in Bahrain, Egypt reiterated its opposition to attacks on Gulf states, stressing that their security is an inseparable part of Egypt’s national security. It warned that an expanding confrontation could have repercussions for the global economy and food and energy supply chains. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty outlined a vision for strengthening regional security based on respect for states’ sovereignty, non-use of force, non-interference in their affairs, and the protection of maritime routes, energy infrastructure and other critical infrastructure. He also called for a just resolution to the Palestinian issue and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Abdelatty warned that an escalation of the war between the United States and Iran could lead to greater destruction and serious repercussions, and called for a shift from managing crises to building an early-warning and rapid-response system.
