Ahmed Kamel – Egypt Daily News
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi conducted an urgent telephone consultation with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. Presidential Spokesperson Mohamed El-Shennawy confirmed that the Egyptian head of state issued an explicit condemnation of recent Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting Jordan and neighboring Arab states. El-Sisi declared that Jordan’s domestic security remains an unalterable, integral component of Egypt’s own national security architecture.
The top-level diplomatic intervention follows a fresh breach of Jordanian airspace on Tuesday, during which national border defense units intercepted and downed a hostile drone operating over the eastern desert corridor near Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The cross-border deployment marks the latest in a wave of attacks, including a severe raid the prior week where Jordan’s anti-aircraft batteries successfully engaged six Iranian ballistic missiles. Tehran officially claimed the operations are strictly calibrated to dismantle active United States military logistics nodes inside the Hashemite kingdom.

The two Arab leaders transitioned their strategic dialogue to evaluate the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine, renewing absolute support for a comprehensive two-state settlement. El-Sisi and King Abdullah forcefully rejected the intensifying Israeli military campaigns sweeping across the occupied West Bank. The heads of state issued sharp warnings against the provocative conduct of far-right political factions operating inside the territory and East Jerusalem.
President Sisi explicitly reaffirmed Cairo’s unwavering diplomatic backing for the historic Hashemite custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites across Jerusalem. The leaders called for a massive escalation in joint security coordination to shield holy infrastructure from unilateral architectural adjustments and administrative overreach. The allied nations pledged to synchronize their ministerial policies to push back against any destabilizing regional measures.
Collapsing Ceasefire Treaties Threaten Joint Regional Stabilization and Transit Mediation Efforts
The sudden spike in cross-border aerial warfare has completely derailed fragile diplomatic efforts to salvage the mid-June peace memorandum signed between Washington and Tehran. The temporary operational lull observed over the weekend has dissolved into a dangerous military escalation that threatens to expand the geographic boundaries of the war. Egypt and Jordan issued a unified appeal to the international community, demanding immediate political solutions to restore maritime and territorial stability.
The presidential communication follows a separate operational alignment meeting between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi. The specialized ministerial cabinets have established an open communication channel to manage the ripple effects of the ongoing Strait of Hormuz shipping blockades. Both governments maintained that an immediate halt to all foreign military interventions is the only viable method to safeguard adjacent Arab infrastructure and restore global trade connectivity.
