House Speaker visits parliament after Sisi's Saudi support
Parliamentary sources have indicated that Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hisham Badrawi, headed to the Parliament building in the New Administrative Capital following President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's statements regarding Egypt's readiness to support Saudi Arabia militarily if Riyadh requests it. This comes as part of preparations for an emergency session in which the parliament will grant the armed forces authorization to defend Egypt's and the Arab world's national security, in response to the president's demand. The president emphasized that Egypt is prepared to assist Saudi Arabia against any attacks, provided there is a request, and reiterated that any action taken would be for defense, not offense.
