Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi reiterated his country’s complete support to Sudan’s security and stability during a telephone call with Chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Saturday

They agreed to continue intense coordination and consultation in the future, given their national security and the historic bilateral ties.

According to presidential spokesman Bassam Rady, the leaders discussed cooperation and regional developments.

Sisi congratulated the Sudanese government and people on their country’s Independence Day.

Burhan, for his part, hailed the deep popular and government rapprochement between Cairo and Khartoum, as well as the mutual efforts to improve joint cooperation.

He praised Cairo’s full support to preserve Sudan’s safety and stability, Rady added.

Both countries share wide cooperation relations that deepened after the ouster of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and Burhan’s assumption of the Council’s presidency.

Sisi and Burhan last met in October 2020 when the Sudanese leader visited Cairo for talks on the implementation of joint development projects.

Iran's supreme leader said Israel is wrong to believe it can eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon or that an “axis of resistance” of Tehran's allies in the region was finished.

State TV quoted Ali Khamenei as saying during a recent meeting that “the Zionist regime, in its delusion, believes it is preparing itself through Syria to encircle and eradicate Hezbollah forces, but the one that will be eradicated is Israel.”

Khamenei also added that Israel and the United States “thought the issue of resistance was over. They are gravely mistaken.”

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Iran will use every opportunity to mobilize the regional and international community to stop what he called Israeli aggression against neighboring countries like Syria, Yemen and others.

He also said that the Syrian people are the only ones who can decide on their country's future after the fall of President Bashar Assad, a Tehran ally. “Naturally, the regional countries should assist in this process without any destructive interference or any form of pressure and threats against the political actors in Syria.”

Baghaei urged regional countries to put pressure on the UN Security Council to stop Israel’s occupation in Syria and said, “Ultimately, the entire occupied Golan Heights of Syria must be liberated.”

Israeli troops have seized a border buffer zone, sparking condemnation, with critics accusing Israel of violating the 1974 ceasefire and possibly exploiting the chaos in Syria for a land grab. Israel captured the Golan Heights in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it, though the international community except for the US regards it as occupied.
