Egyptian troop deployment decision in 2020 parliamentary session
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called on the House of Representatives to hold an emergency session to debate granting him the authority to intervene at the request of Saudi Arabia. This comes in the wake of his statement during a graduation ceremony for military students. This request stems from a previous decision made by the House of Representatives in July 2020, during a secret session, to approve the deployment of Egyptian troops on combat missions outside the country to protect Egyptian national security, particularly in the western direction against militias and terrorism. He clarified that the deployment of forces requires the approval of Parliament by a two-thirds majority in accordance with Article 152 of the Constitution. The President also emphasized that Egypt will take all necessary measures to protect Saudi Arabia, reaffirming that relations between the two countries are a priority for Arab and Islamic security.
