Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned on Sunday that the Middle East could slide into chaos as the conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran entered a second day.
He called for “dialogue and peaceful means” to settle the region’s crises, saying that the escalation has serious consequences that could push the Middle East into chaos.
His comments came in a phone call Sunday with Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, according to the Egyptian leader’s office.
Sultan Haitham also held telephone talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
During the calls, they discussed the developments of the military escalation currently witnessed in the region following the Israeli and US strikes on Iran and its repercussions on security and stability in the region and the world, said Oman’s state news agency (ONA).
The leaders stressed the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to dialogue and diplomacy.
