Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi communicated Cairo's support for Beirut to Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati during a phone call on Saturday, directing the immediate deployment of aid, according to the Egyptian presidency.

El-Sisi emphasized Egypt's “full support for Lebanon and confirmed standing by its side during these critical circumstances, rejecting attempts to jeopardize its security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity.”

He also stressed the need for an immediate, comprehensive, and permanent ceasefire in both Lebanon and Gaza.

The Egyptian president “gave directives for the immediate dispatch of emergency medical and relief aid to Lebanon, in solidarity with its people, and affirmed Egypt's continued support for Lebanon at all levels.”

He pointed out that “the international community not assuming its responsibilities to stop the aggressive practices towards the Palestinian territories and Lebanon threatens to slide the region into a dangerous state of escalation, which puts regional and international stability and peace at stake.”

On his part, the Lebanese prime minister expressed his “appreciation for Egypt's position in support of his country and the Lebanese State,” while reviewing the outcome of contacts made by the Lebanese government to contain the situation.

He praised, in this context, the role played by Egypt in restoring security and stability in the region.

In a related context, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi extended his condolences and sympathy to the Lebanese people and Hezbollah in an interview with Al Mayadeen on Saturday.

He stated, "The loss of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is indeed significant, but Hezbollah is home to many great leaders."

Araghchi further emphasized the resilience of the Resistance, saying, "The martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah is a profound loss, but it does not signify the end of the Resistance; rather, it heralds the beginning of a new chapter marked by greater strength."

These comments come amid escalating tensions between the Axis of Resistance and the US and "Israel", highlighting Iran's support for Hezbollah and its commitment to the Resistance movement.

Iran calls for emergency UNSC session over Israeli aggression on Lebanon

In turn, Iran's Envoy to the UN Security Council called for an emergency meeting on Saturday "to address the Israeli terrorist aggression and the ongoing atrocities committed by the Israeli warmongering regime in Lebanon and throughout the region."

This request comes in light of the grave consequences of the Israeli occupation's actions on regional and international peace, stability, and security.

In his letter, Iran's UN envoy, Amir Saeid Iravani, urged the Council to take "immediate and decisive action to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression and prevent the region from being dragged into an all-out war."
