Egypt Authorizes Military Support to Saudi Arabia Amid Houthi Attacks
Egypt's parliament has authorized President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to provide military support to Saudi Arabia amid escalating attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. The approval allows Egypt to defend Saudi territory if requested, focusing on protecting borders and strategic areas like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait near the Suez Canal. Egyptian officials emphasize a preference for diplomatic solutions alongside military readiness. The Houthis and some Yemeni representatives have expressed concerns about Egypt's involvement, citing potential risks to national security.
