Egypt has affirmed its readiness to support Saudi Arabia in safeguarding its security and stability, following escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthi forces. The announcement, made by the Egyptian presidency on Sunday, signals a commitment to bolstering regional security. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has called for an emergency parliamentary session to authorize the Egyptian military—a substantial force in the Arab world—to intervene and assist Saudi Arabia if requested. This move comes as the Houthis, aligned with Iran, increase attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, the world’s leading oil exporter. The situation underscores growing tensions in the region and the potential for wider conflict. Egypt’s offer underscores its commitment to collective security within the Arab world and its willingness to support allies facing external threats in Yemen.
