“Urgent, region‑wide de‑escalation through comprehensive collective coordination, diplomatic solutions and adherence to international law.” — Foreign Minister Dr. Badra Abdi (as cited)

Diplomatic priorities (as outlined by guest Dr. Ahmed Abdi Hammuda)

Dr. Ahmed Abdi Hammuda, an international economic expert, identified three Egyptian diplomatic priorities:

De‑escalate military aggression.
Resume peaceful diplomatic talks to address root causes.
Limit humanitarian and global economic fallout.

Complexity of the crisis

The guest emphasized that the crisis contains both announced aims (for example, degrading Iranian missile and military capabilities, and alleged regime‑change objectives) and unannounced motives.
He noted there has been no International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report or UN authorization cited to justify military action, and there is no broad international approval for such operations.

Current dynamics

Dr. Ahmed suggested some announced military objectives may already be partly achieved.
He also observed that recent shifts in US rhetoric could signal a forthcoming easing of tension.

Impacts highlighted

Immediate humanitarian and security effects on neighboring countries and civilians.
Global economic effects driven by disruptions to energy supplies:
- The guest stated Iran accounts for roughly 20% of global energy influence, contributing to higher oil and gas prices and supply‑chain inflation that affect countries including Egypt and Europe.

Proposed ways out

Shorten the crisis duration to reduce economic and humanitarian damage.
Apply multilateral pressure and formal intervention to force de‑escalation, involving:
- The European Union, China, Russia, NATO, and affected regional states (GCC, Egypt, Arab states).
- The aim is to rebalance power and create leverage for negotiations.
Establish a formal forum or pass a binding resolution (not merely issue statements) capable of issuing ultimatums or enforcing commitments to return to diplomacy.

On a unified Arab military force

Dr. Ahmed supported a deep, institutional solution if treaties move from signatures to implementation.
Requirements he mentioned for an effective, unified Arab force (an “Arab NATO”) include:
- Member states sharing burdens (troops, finance, bases, infrastructure).
- Fulfilling treaty obligations to deter future threats and enable credible collective defense.
