Egypt and France warn against Gaza escalation

CAIRO, EGYPT: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned Saturday of a 'vicious cycle' of violence after Hamas launched a deadly attack on Israel, which responded with devastating air strikes on Gaza.

Sisi received a call from French President Emmanuel Macron, the Egyptian presidency said, and the two discussed 'coordinating efforts to stop the escalation in the Gaza Strip between the Palestinian and Israeli sides'.
