Egypt Seeks Parliamentary Approval to Defend Saudi Territory Amid Yemen Conflict
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has called for parliamentary approval to support Saudi Arabia militarily amid escalating conflict with Yemen's Houthi forces. Egypt's backing would focus on defending Saudi and allied Arab territories, excluding offensive operations in Yemen. Parliament postponed the vote to October 26 for further discussion. The conflict, involving Saudi-led coalition efforts against the Houthis, has intensified near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic Red Sea chokepoint affecting global oil supplies. Egypt emphasizes pursuing political solutions alongside defensive support.
