Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned in Paris on Friday that Israel’s “illegal measures” and “escalatory practices” in the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon threaten the security and stability of the entire region [235572]. Safadi delivered the warning during a meeting with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot, where the two discussed the latest regional developments [235572].

The Jordanian minister’s remarks came as regional leaders continue to coordinate closely on Middle East security issues. In a separate phone call this week, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi told Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the kingdom’s security is a “red line” for Egypt [234772]. The call, which also covered bilateral cooperation and regional developments, underscored the strategic ties between Cairo and Riyadh [234772].

Sisi’s message to the crown prince comes amid heightened tensions across the region, with both countries coordinating on security matters [234772]. The Egyptian presidency said the call took place Tuesday, ahead of Saudi Arabia’s upcoming National Day [234772].
