On Wednesday, Lithuania's Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabrielius Landsbergis is visiting Cairo, where he met with the Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit. At the meeting, Lithuania's Foreign Minister said the Hamas attack on Israel was unjustified and called on the countries to actively engage, seeking to avoid expanding the conflict in the region.
"We condemn the Hamas attack on Israel that has caused immense human suffering to its victims and the threat to regional security. Israel has the right to defend itself, but this must be done following the principles of international humanitarian law," Landsbergis said.
Lithuania's Foreign Minister stressed that the war had an impact not only on regional security but also on global security.
"This could have wide-ranging geopolitical consequences in the context of Russia's aggression against Ukraine and other ongoing conflicts," Lithuania's Foreign Minister said.
The meeting also explored the impact of Russia's war on the region and global security.
"The implications of the Russian aggression in Ukraine are not only limited to Europe, so we appreciate the Arab countries' support at the United Nations, calling for putting an immediate end to Russia's aggression, thus expressing solidarity and support for Ukraine," Landsbergis said.
