Egypt Authorises Military Support for Saudi Arabia Amid Rising Houthi Attacks
Egypt's parliament has authorised President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take all necessary measures to support Saudi Arabia against attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. The approval, backed by a two-thirds majority, allows potential military support if Riyadh requests it, focusing on defending Saudi territory without attacking Yemen. The Houthis condemned the move as a declaration of war against Yemen. Egypt has previously contributed naval support in the Yemen conflict and emphasizes diplomatic efforts alongside military preparedness amid escalating regional tensions.
