Ambassador says Egypt seeking to spare Lebanon broad war through Gaza truce

Egyptian Ambassador to Lebanon Alaa Moussa has said that Cairo is working on sparing Lebanon a bigger war through its efforts to reach a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Noting that “this has been Egypt’s stance from the beginning,” Moussa said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has stressed “the need not to expand the conflict or ignite the southern front.”

Moussa voiced his remarks in an interview with Kuwait’s al-Anbaa newspaper.
