STORYLINE:

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Saturday categorically denied a report by The Wall Street Journal which claimed that Egyptian officials urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave Syria and form a government in exile.
   
Refuting the claim made in the report as entirely unfound and false, the Egyptian ministry, on its official Facebook account, urged all media outlets to release information after proper fact-checking.
   
In a separate statement, the ministry urged Egyptian nationals in Syria to exercise extreme caution and stay away from areas of tension.
   
It called on Egyptian citizens to abide by the concerned Syrian authorities' instructions, avoid traveling to Syria at the current time, and stay in contact with the Egyptian embassy in Damascus.
   
The fighting between Syrian government forces and rebel groups, led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has seen a sharp escalation for territorial gains since Nov. 27.
