Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday his country does not support a military escalation in regional tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, adding the region already faces enough crises.

Sisi spoke at a wide-ranging press conference in the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh where he addressed regional disputes and his country's efforts to tackle militant attacks and economic reforms.

Asked about the prospect of attacks on Iran and Hezbollah - two days after Saudi Arabia had accused Lebanon of declaring war because of Hezbollah's "aggressive actions", Sisi stressed the importance of de-escalation.

No!
Let the Saudis and Iranians go at it!
And while they're "at it", take out Egypt, as well!
