Dr. Badr Abdel Aati, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs, and Abdullah Al-Yahya, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait, stressed the seriousness of the deliberate escalation by the Israeli side, which is pushing the region to the brink of the abyss.

This came - in the joint statement - issued today, Thursday, on the occasion of the thirteenth session of the Egyptian-Kuwaiti Joint Committee in Cairo.

The two ministers stressed their categorical rejection of any scenarios targeting the displacement of Palestinians outside their lands, and of any lies repeated by the Israeli side in an attempt to justify its refusal to withdraw from the "Philadelphi" axis.
