Madbouly spoke about the escalating situation and tensions in the region in recent days, Egypt's firm rejection of expanding the scope of conflict in the region, and the necessity of halting Israeli military operations on various regional fronts. He emphasized that the continuation of this escalation will have serious repercussions for all peoples of the region, without exception, and indeed the entire world.
He noted that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, during his meetings and phone calls with a number of world leaders, emphasized the importance of the international community playing a more effective role in urging regional parties to assume their responsibilities. He emphasized that peaceful solutions remain the only means to ensure security and stability in the region.
Madbouly reassured citizens of the availability of various commodities in the markets, and that there is a strategic reserve sufficient for several months. He also noted that the government has taken immediate action to discuss the repercussions of the current crisis at various levels, particularly with regard to fuel supplies and increasing the country's stockpile of all essential strategic commodities. He highlighted the decision he issued to form a "Crisis Committee," chaired by him, to monitor the repercussions of the Iranian-Israeli military operations, thus contributing to preparedness for any developments in various sectors.
He confirmed that he will meet regularly with the committee members, noting that the first meeting will be held today, following the Cabinet meeting. He also noted that he is currently intensifying his meetings with various advisory committees to discuss the repercussions of recent events and their impact on various state sectors.
The Prime Minister asked citizens to be very careful to rationalize electricity consumption in light of these exceptional circumstances, while emphasizing the government's commitment to supply power plants with the necessary fuel to operate efficiently.
He stressed that there was no need to worry about the availability of
any basic commodities, as the government had strategic reserves sufficient to
meet domestic consumption needs. The government was also closely monitoring
developments at various levels, and several scenarios were being developed to
address these developments. He expressed his hope that stability would return
to the region as soon as possible.
